But that doesn't limit itself to abstract art. One of Haydn's works was 
actually written by Mozart's dad; some other by an obscure monk. And 
remember the husband of late British pianist Joyce Hatto, who, a few years 
ago, faked a recording supposedly made by her, but, in reality, made by 
other pianists. It took some time before any critic discovered the "joke".
Any monkey could produce one piece of Pollock and one minute of Archie 
Shepp. But in the long run you'd notice the difference, the intent. That's 
where the adventure begins.
