No, Nik0tine you are saying hard work is the product of hard work. Performing music well is as much of a skill as writing music, and any decent musician writes as well. Either in composition or improvisation. True given time and practise anyone could potentially copy Les although it would still not be quite the same. Also talent isn't neccessarily natural, it can be learned. Your argument is a bit like saying anyone with legs could play football like Ronaldinho, frankly absurd. And i suspect you know that.
