Writing in any style requires some kind of natural ability, otherwise composers would only be able to quite literally copy other people's work. However, as Mozart could write music as a 'sow pisses' by hearing it all in his head and transcribing it perfectly you have to admit that not just anybody would ever be able to achieve this regardless of training.
I find a lot of Mozart's work to be quite boring save from a few pieces, but the fact remains that he had it all in his head and he got it down. Also in regards to the video I posted earlier, Derek Paravacini can listen to a piece of very complicated music he has never heard before and play it all back note for note. I know for a fact that I will never be able to do this, nor would I be able to do this if I was taught to be a brilliant pianist from a young age. If I was to deny that Derek's musical memory was greater than my own I would be quite literally delusional. Aside from his memory, his ear is almost perfect. Are you telling me you could teach a tone deaf person to improvise on a piano like he does?
