Music seems to be one of the closest things to the astral realms and appears to originate there. I asked a monk once when I lived in a monastery; Why is it some people come to this plain with so much talent? He told me that they study in some regions of the astral realms before coming to earth.
That's an interesting explanation for talent. Fresh experience in a very stimulating environment with a very receptive mental setup.
And what about exceptional mathematicians like Perelman, the modern (crazy) Genius if mathematics? They refined their skills of wordly life in the astral setup, working on their astral brain.
Yes, the practice of incarnations plus the refinement in the astral setup, that would definitely explain inhuman talents.
