Opa Johan’s E Mail To His Grandchildren 5

Well, leave the great, famous poets, painters, composers, scientists, heroes, … at home. Let hear what they said, see what they painted, hear what they composed, asserted, they did, instead of just quoting, citing dry, empty, stupid stuff as general knowledge and burden your brains with their names or their works, dates, residence, … to impress people as a cultured, intelligent person.

Just think, there are thousands of composers. Mozart himself composed more than thousand works. You don’t know Mozart just by knowing, remembering his name or his K.V.’s. You know Mozart by listening, hear him “speak” through his pieces even though only one but you enjoyed, loved it. Even shouldn’t you know his name or the title of the work, or did not know who he was. In an Encyclopedia you can find, learn a lot about him but you still know nothing about him, unless you ever have heard a piece of him which you really like and think it’s beautiful. Did you know this?
