Music History
I know Gus thinks that music performed by people who spend time at practice is obsolete and fascistic (or at least undemocratic), but I think even he has to admit that this is pretty cool. If you happen to have six minutes and five seconds, I beg you to watch a recording of Dimitriev as a younger man playing the Fugue in D-minor here.

Fugue in D minor on the accordion is haunting.
Anyway, I admire, respect and enjoy virtuosity, but resent when it becomes the end-all be-all of musical achievement. Exclusion, of any kind, just narrows your opportunity to experience something awesome.
That was pretty good.
