第二十四期：A Tribute to Teacher

概要
轻松愉快的一期～伯恩斯坦把这一期献给自己的老师，包括了Serge Koussevitzky, Randall Thompson, Walter Piston, Fritz Reiner等，演奏了他们或者和他们相关的作品，分享了自己和他们的很多故事，而且现场也来了不少他的老师和亲属。正如伯恩斯坦所说，好的老师可以"light a spark in you"，不只是传授知识，更是传授对知识的热情，老师。伯恩斯坦用了Brahms的Academic Festival Overture作为结尾，这首作品是Brahms为一所学校所写，也是和老师有关～伯恩斯坦这么多年之后其实也成为了一位老师，而且是为大众普及音乐的老师，很感动于这样的传承～

We can all think of a self-taught painter or writer, but it is almost impossible to imagine a professional musician who doesn't owe something to one teacher or another.

Teaching is probably the noblest profession in the world — the most unselfish, difficult, and honorable profession. It is also the most unappreciated, underrated, underpaid, and underpraised profession in the world.

You see, teaching is not just a dry business of scales and exercises; a great teacher is one who can light a spark in you, the spark that sets you on fire with enthusiasm for music, or for whatever you are studying. You can study the history of the Civil War for a year, memorizing battles and generals and dates and places; but if you don't care about the Civil War you'll wind up not knowing a bloody thing about it; But if you're lucky enough to have a teacher who makes that war part of your life, part of your country and your past — then you can drink in whole gallons of dates and names and places, and never forget them, because you learned them out of enthusiasm.
