Q: How do you create a sculpture like "The Statue of David"?

A: Take a block of marble, and remove everything that doesn't look like David.

This sounds like a simple question, and it sounds like a simple answer. But the truth of the matter is that there is much more behind both the question and the answer than most people seem to comprehend.

The same came be said for many other cases of trying to understand virtuosity. And especially trying to replicate it.
