Historically, a "talent" could be defined as a weight, and unit of measure that was sometimes manifested in "coinage" or any monetary unit of exchange.
With the help from one who is acquainted with mathematical equations, the Quadratic formula was chosen as a novel avenue of defining a rather abstract description within the language of "the Maths", as follows:
_______
x = -b ±√ b2 - 4ac
2a
where x = “Talent”; a = Marketability; b = Natural Ability/Technique; and c = Prestige Level of Music Professor or School.
With all three attributes being equally important for a Musician; a, b, and c are equal to 1.
Therefore, "Talent" may be defined as follows:
___________
x = -(1) ±√ (1)2 - 4(1)(1)
2(1)
______
x = -(1) ±√ (1 - 4)
2
____
x = -1 ±√ (-3)
2
_____
x = -1 ±√ 3(-1)
2
_
x = -1 ±√3(i)
2
where i = An imaginary number.
Confused? Join the cast of thousands - Composers, Artists of all genres - whose works were or are never seen or heard. History reminds us of known celebrated Composers and Artists whose works were extolled as "talented, ground-breaking genius" only after they were no longer with us.
Quoting Margareet Wolfe HUNGERFORD, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". This leads one to aptly conclude that in fact "Talent" is in the "i" (imagination) or "Aye" (accolades) of the Ticket holder, as calculated using the Quadratic equation.
