Final answer:

In 'Gifted Hands,' a professor introduces Ben Carson to Schubert's Eighth Symphony. This instance mirrors the themes of Robert Gupta's and Tod Machover's work on the societal impact of music and music therapy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, Ben Carson was introduced to Schubert's Eighth Symphony (Unfinished) by a professor who saw potential in him and took an interest in broadening his cultural exposure. This moment showcases the transformative power of mentorship and education, much like the power of music therapy highlighted by Robert Gupta. Gupta's experiences demonstrate the importance of bridging disciplines and highlight the impact that music can have on society's marginalized groups.

Similarly, through the work of Tod Machover and Dan Ellsey, we are reminded of the capability of innovative musical instruments and technology to expand access to musical expression, catering to everyone from virtuosos to amateurs.
