I think that the original issue is a Jekyll/Hyde thing in each of us. We all seem to have facets of our talents that come to us easily, and facets which we work to the point of frustration.

When I look at the kinds of things that come 'easily' to me, it's simply of matter of not having practiced them specifically. But they are the result of considerable practice on related items.

How many of us practice patterns for jazz improvisation, but don't actually use them? But we use the key and interval familiarity that they produce.

When you look at guys like Bach and Mozart, I wonder if they seemingly become supermen simply because their technical skills are so strong that they are able to write down and/or execute a large part of the piece because they are unencumbered by careful penmanship or too much double-checking. With a Mozart or a Charlie Parker it seems like so much of the miracle is getting the idea out there intact while it's still fresh.

I also wonder how much talent is lost to the world everyday as young musicians make meteoric progress using their basic skills, but then get impatient and frustrated with skill which are more difficult and which have narrower applications.
