Is there a noun(phrase) meaning the state of being a masterpiece?
All music is a noun. ‘Made by ‘Masterpiece’ is a noun. I would like, however, to use a noun or as a concise noun phrase which refers not to a masterpiece, but its state of being a masterpiece. I thought of using’masterpieciness’ as a neologism, but I don’t know how digestible that would sound?
