In
classical times, the names Beethoven, Mozart, Wolfgang, and Bach would definitely ring more bells than a cathedral on a wedding day. These musicians have defined how music is being created today, and their music would stay well within our minds' ears more than it would in our minds' eyes. Even a damn rock concert would lose its audience with a performance from anyone of these classical giants!
There have also been many European musicians that have made it big in these modern times. If we have Jimi Hendrix, then our Brit friends have the Beatles to boot! But, I think we just don't have a classical musician worthy of being put up in the ranks of these European classical giants. A German classical genius, who goes by the name of Bach, has even an instrument that is being displayed for public viewing in the Leipzig Collegium.
The baroque German harpsichord is among the greatest musical creations humanity as seen and actually heard. It resonates sound more than a small orchestra would, with its 16-inch stop and its separate organ-styled pedal. When Bach moved on to hold a directorship position on the Collegium, about a dozen or so performances of this classical giant was done using this instrument. The Leipzig Collegium is now publicly displaying this instrument, and it would be worth about a year of
tasty gourmet meals if you miss seeing it once your in Germany.
