Question:

What's the point of being a musical virtuoso?

Yes, I'll admit it's impressive when I hear someone play an instrument in an amazingly fast and complex way but that kind of music is meaningless to me. It's like a merchant who has perfected his sales pitch and can talk so perfectly that you think you must buy his product.

I much prefer people who use their music to convey emotions and feelings rather than to showcase their unbelievable hand speed. I'll agree that there is a time and place for everything but doing everything virtuoso is not good music. A virtuoso is more of an entertainer than an artist.
