Allegro Presto

There are days when you are tired and if you dared admit it, a little bit sad, and you push yourself to make it through a small mountain of paper which has adhered itself to your desk.  Perhaps on those days especially, you take a little extra time to check on members of your team and in the fifteen minutes or so you spend with a couple of women, you hear two of the most heart-breaking stories you think you've ever heard.  You encourage but know you will need to search out something beautiful with which to end your day.

For those evenings, I recommend Chris Thile playing Bach on mandolin. (Bach is a personal favorite, and Thile happens to think the piano is one of the greatest instruments in the world so he's a man after my heart.)  His performance is amazing.
