Hi,

Without entering the debate about the posted video (I guess everyone 
have their own tastes in music) I would like to object to an underlying 
concept expressed here that 'talent' is in contrast with 'craftsmanship' 
which recalls certain commonplace ideas where there is on the one side 
talent, 'artistic genius' and similer and on the other hand 'daily 
work', craft. I think there are many examples of artists who were/are 
great craftsmen without that implying they had no talent or that they 
weren't even geniuses. A good craftsman can be a real genius: an example 
which comes straight to my mind is Bach :)

Bests,
Lorenzo
