When a great musician is playing, how can I hear the difference between them and an above average musician?

Question

I was at my son’s concert and they sounded great. That got me to wonder if I could hear the difference if a Broadway Orchestra played the same music. If so, what would I hear differently

Our grandson plays clarinet in high school marching band. He recently saved his money to buy a “real” clarinet, as he calls it- w real wood one instead of a plastic one.

Usually more experienced players have the best instruments, and that really does make a difference to some extent.

So- better instruments, lots more consistent practice, not having to think of next
note/chord to play.
