#10 ∙ If the process is a burden, it is not worth doing it ∙

<p><a href="https://www.rcs.ac.uk/staff/pavri_fali/">Fali Pavri</a> was my mentor and piano teacher at the <a href="https://www.rcs.ac.uk/staff/pavri_fali/">Royal Conservatoire of Scotland</a> for two years. He was born in India and after finishing his degree in chemistry, he decided to move to Moscow where his professional musical journey began. While still a student, he was invited by the great Russian cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich to be his pianist on an extensive concert tour of India. How cool is that? Join us for this talk and find out how Fali met Rostropovich and what was the lesson he learnt from the legendary cellist. We also talked about his experiences in different countries, how it formed him as a teacher and human being and  most importantly we talked about  the joy music can bring us.</p><p>Support openARTed on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/monikamasanauskaite">Patreon</a><br />Episode music:</p><p>R.
