I love this[1] interview of Eubie Blake by Marian McPartland for many reasons, but the part where he describes how he at 93-years-old still does daily scales on the piano just goes to show the importance of persistent training in artistic endeavors. I'm a lazy bastard, but I'd only be fooling myself if lack of complete dedication to my craft didn't come at a price. That said, I have no sympathy for a company that expects to hire a Yo-Yo Ma for the salary of an amateur band member. [1] http://www.npr.org/2012/10/19/123385170/eubie-blake-on-piano... |
