what would his skill have been in antiquity?
Discussion
He might have done this on an actual instrument and produced the music himself.
Niccolo Paganini was a violinist and composer who wrote pieces where he would have strings snap during his performance and continue playing on 3 then 2 and finally a single string and still produce beautiful music.
That is actual skill.
What a waste of time because *I* don't like it. Looks like there's no objective way to analyze value.
