But how then do you account for the likes of classical pianists or violinists, or those in an orchestra even, who never write their own music (or at least, never perform it in public if they do write it, so it remains unheard which is kind of the same end result) but can lovingly interpret Chopin or Bach or Dvorak? Surely they have to be rated as talented, even if they never created anything themselves?
