Any artist, whether in visual media, music, drama, or dance knows that the "magic" of their art is produced by mundane and usually heavily taskified processes. You can't "just" create a sublime work of art

Even the lucky and talented have to be taught the skills of their craft and continue to practice regularly. They just get to see a payoff earlier than everyone else.

Jascha Heifetz: "If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it."

"You know that I immerse myself in music, so to speak — that I think about it all day long — that I like experimenting — studying — reflecting."

—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
