Haverstick) Haverstick here...Jon, your comment that chops aren't enough is quite correct...however, I believe the misunderstanding is my fault...when I say chops, I actually include the realm of compositional skills as well as athletic dexterity...I believe someone can compose a great piece (Greensleeves comes to mind) without the piece needing to be particularly difficult to play...I do find, alsa, that a lot of folks with good/great technical skills can be quite boring if these skills are not formed into interesting compositions...a blend of great execution and compositional abilities is ideal...and hard to find...
