while listening to my cousin rehearsing [on violin] various
classical parts in the other room.......

painters - humans who create "worlds" on their canvases are
artists [maybe it's a thing in English language and not in
other language, note] - and musicians: those who re-create
classic compositions as e.g. violin players in an orchestra
AND musicians who create their own music using e.g. violin
<<--- they are all called artists in English, 'am I wrong??'
- ??

classic/classical

cause it always bugged me....at least in my culture: those
starving painters trying to sell their unique works AND
[sorry] copy-cat musicians playing in orchestras - they both
are called/treated as artists while - methinks - only the
former could be could real artists while the latter - just
craftsmen [!] skillfully recreating classical stuff.

what say you ?

I understand what you mean, but would that suggest that any
musician, wether in a band or a solo 'artist' isn't an
artist?

I'm not having a go. I'm curious because it's interesting.

Sorry i meant:

.....any musician, wether in a band or solo isn't an artist
unless he composed the music, wether partly or entirely?
