Steve F wrote Larry, an admirable quest on your part (to provoke more thought about the nature of talent) but I don't believe you, me, this group, or any group of people will ever settle the "nature or nuture" question. Too many examples exist of excellence in musical performance where no indication whatsoever of "natural talent" can be found.
******** I am reminded of Victor Borge's remark - which I don't remember exactly - that he inherited his musical talent and intelligence from his mother, and his good looks and poetical personality from a close friend of his father.
