Chances are that you've never heard of The Maestro--Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. I certainly hadn't. But you've no doubt heard and been influenced by his teaching and his music.
The Maestro is a slow and steady burn like a warm candle flickering in a darkened room examining the challenges and beauty of art.
