We tend to rate the complex as more impressive and the simple as more banal. For example, we may have more respect for a trained physicist than for a cleaner - because the tasks appear to be of different levels of difficulty. Yet the physicist cannot carry out his work in his laboratory if it is not clean and thoroughly cleaned - by the cleaner, for example. This could also be observed in music - but there is good illustrative material to show that simplicity does not equal banality: a trumpet has only three buttons and a violin only four strings, whereas the piano normally has 88 keys - but learning and mastering the trumpet or the violin is more demanding than playing a simple song on the piano and a baby can already produce a beautiful tone on the piano but not on the trumpet. So don't be fooled by appearances!

I wish you an extraordinary day!
