Wasn't Nodame Cantabile exactly like that as well? One a very meticulous genius who had been worked to the bone from childhood, the other a genius who didn't want to follow any rule books or strict interpretations. It's a big plus the problems are reversed in this show, because it's the by the book guy who's having troubles playing, whereas in Nodame it was the happy-go-lucky free spirit who almost gave up a few times.
