That’s not necessarily fair. As I was taught, “nobody composes in a vacuum.” Art and Science constantly evolve so you need to learn what came before, which means it will take longer and longer for prodigies to flourish.

Nobody performs in a vacuum either, for obvious reasons. Unless they are performing Mister Holland’s Opus.
