Do you think that the modern world has redirected the course of a young pianists career,
many years ago before the advent of television and the playstation and the PC kids would have to entertain themselves on a piano, or other musical instrument thus sparking an interest in becoming a pianist etc. but now we have millions of kids that are champions in mortal kombat and similar computer games, that may have otherwise become the next VL Horowitz, (there could even be a Mozart out there who does not know where middle C is, and is living life as a bank manager, or number crunching in the city. Are we pre programmed, or conditioned by our environment? what dammage has been done to the art of traditional music by technology.
