In a commonplace environment at an unexpected hour:
1. I do believe we would perceive beauty during a rush hour, but that beauty would be the things we already experience daily. We would hear a song on our playlist and think its beautiful but we wouldn't try to notice the beauty around us because it requires more energy and attention.
2. We don't stop to appreciate it because as I said above it would take more time and energy. If the beauty is something we are not used to (like classical music) it would be unlikely we would stop because we wouldn't want to get out of comfort zone to experience something we may or may not like. Its the same reason I like to listen to the same song multiple times before I change it, its comfortable with little to no effort, it would be more difficult and less comforting to try and find a new song on my own.
3. Yes I think we do recognize talent in an unexpected context, but have to notice the talent first. If we have headphones or earbuds in and were listening to our favorite song it would be difficult for us to take them out and listen to music from a genre we don't really hear much in America. The people that did notice Bell were very impressed because they noticed and recognized his talent but the other people at the station never noticed him playing so they didn't really recognize his talent.
4. If we don't have a moment to sit down and listen to one of the worlds finest musicians we are missing out on a lot of stuff in the world we live in. Most people are only concerned on themselves such as the music their listening to or the movie/show their watching, they don't really look up at the world anymore. You can blame it on the cellphone or bad parenting but I believe its just Human Nature, if something does't interest us or please us right away were likely to ignore it.
