> Whereas a five-year-old kid can play some passable Bach on the piano that we can enjoy as Bach Then why do people pack concert halls to listen to Joshua Bell instead of listening to their kid cousin playing the violin? > The result is that performing a convincing cover of some pop music requires a very high musical standard. The same is absolutely true of classical music. Just because you can recognize what a Bach piece is by hearing the notes doesn't mean it's a good or convincing performance.
