I think I agree with Per here but I'm not sure what is meant by 
"multi-tasking musical craft". Any instrument is played by a person who is 
definitely multi-tasking no matter what instrument. A performer must 
combine technique with interpretation unless that performer is just trying 
to be annoying. Plus, you have to remember the piece you're playing unless 
it's an inprov, in which case you have to access an entire range of 
"tasks" to produce something that might be fresh & functional.
