It is generally accepted that exceptionally skilled people in society, such as airline pilots and brain surgeons, have significantly different personalities from those of the general population. A kind of folklore has long existed within musical circles that there are fundamental personality differences between the players of different instruments. Dr Kemp examines this issue, as well as several others relating to the musical temperament, in the light of his years of research in the field.
