Masterclass Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring TUTORiAL-SYNTHiC4TE

quote by mrpsanterTalent refers to some natural aptitude or ability that you may have.

- motzart, beethoven = true prodigy talent brains. compared to them, neither you, nor i (or probably most everybody else here) are actually "talented" then. the reality: talent comes in many flavors and levels and can be developed. but your level/idea of talent may not be as good (or maybe it's better) than my level of talent... but neither of our talent levels are as good as motzart's or hanz's, according to the world's opinion of what is talent (which is constantly changing - van ghoe was considered a shit painter in his life. now he's considered a mad genius). or maybe our talent level's are better than theirs but our social abilities suck (or simply: it is damn hard to become discovered these days as a "talent" without being good at socializing or having grown up in the right place). you see, beyond just having been born with a special brain, there's so much more involved in a "talented" person becoming known that they are even talented. i bet if motzart wasn't born in the time or place he was, he would have not been discovered or nurtured by others around him to becoming as great as he was. i also guarantee that motzart was copying so much other music he was taught as a child (and then resynthesizing the notes in a different, more better way). all the greats - i mean, every artist starts out as a copycat. their social upbringing(plus their own internal chemical makeup - and will to want to do it every day because it makes them feel good) guides them into their greatness.

In music it is always that they where born with perfect pitch
Mozart also had photographic memory and didnt need to redo his works like Beethoven did.
I dont know if that is talent but they also worked very hard and Mozart was trained very hard from a very young age he didnt have a "normal childhood" do you think he would have composed equally good operas concertos etc if he didnt have those 1000,s and 1000,s hours of training?.
I am not so sure.
Its the same with Beethoven
Oh yeah they didnt have lots of other stuff around them like TV and other things that would interrupt the daily training.
Also it seems like within the western music everything is also invented so new classical composers sound like shit and very unmusical when they try to compose something new.
