Beethoven and Bach
... Reinhart¡¯s musical gift is influenced by the genius Bach. Bach¡¯s view on the source of talent is from long hours of practice noting ¡°I have had to work hard; anyone who works as hard will get just as far.¡± (214) Bach discovered that his musical talents derived from incessant hours of practice. ... Bach¡¯s views on the source of talent also focused on a similar perspective. ... These forms of talent which Reinhart and Bach mention can also relate to my love for cooking. ... Cooking can be used as an example on Reinhart¡¯s and Bach¡¯s views on the source of talent because it answers the supporting question of how art is formed. Both Bach¡¯s and Reinhart¡¯s comment referring to musical talent and all forms of talent can be inferred as talent acquired through substantial knowledge and a solid foundation. ... Bach however; views musical talent as a form that is shaped through arduous work of practice and dedication. With the expectation of achieving to develop into a great musician, Bach quotes ¡°The greatest genius, with the most unconquerable propensity to an art, is in its original nature never more than a disposition to an art, is in its original nature never more than a disposition, or a fruitful soil upon which art can never properly thrive except it be cultivated with indefatigable pains.
