I go with E also. An artist is the creator of the painting, but an instrumentalist and dancer are not necessarily the creator of their respective parts.

I think you're right about the performing part.
You need instrumentalists to perform a symphony.
You need dancers to perform a ballet.
You need a composer to perform a concerto, but not in the same way!
The composer has to have written the concerto so that someone can perform it; he doesn't have to perform it himself.
The other choices are equally skewed fr

Thank you two. I got it. And if I noticed this, I would've not posted this question.

I agree with the consensus on this one, with the added thought that a symphony/ballet is generally performed by a group of insturmentalists/dancers. ( I suppose you could have a single dancer performing a ballet, but I think then it would be called a ballet solo to distinguish it from the more common group performance.)
