Is there a 'possibility' that an IQ Test is good at
measuring those Brain Functions and Abilities
that make a good Engineers and does not do
as good a job measuring what it takes to be a
good artist or musician . . .

Sounds plausible. Having said that, there are plenty of studues that
have provided good statistical correlation between musical skill and
high levels of math and science comprehension and ability. Does this
mean that the two skillsets are intercheangeable? Almost certainly
not - but it suggests that the brain recognizes the similarities and
overlaps.

Alberts Einstein and Schweitzer were both fine musicians. Schweitzer
was a genius on the organ.

Pretty fair pedal-pianist, as well. His interpretations of Bach
on piano are believed to be significant inspiration for some of
Casals interpretations of Bach's Concerti.

OK - I am not surprised. His Bach organ recordings on EMI, as old as
they are, are gorgeous.
