Today's vocabulary word – Virtuoso

Your curriculum vitae is place to list your skills and accomplishments. Someone who is highly skilled at something is called a “virtuoso.” This word is often used to refer to artists and musicians, but there are virtuoso computer programmers and chefs as well. You’re considered a virtuoso if you have mastered a skill beyond mere capability and into the realm of brilliance. You’re a whiz, a genius, a wizard, a superstar.

Example:  “Virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman is known for his performances of the Brahms trio sonatas.”
