Neither Bach nor Mozart was as popular or famous or appreciated during their lives as they are now. Certainly you cannot be saying that you believe they were. Nor can you be saying that their greatness was truly comprehended before their deaths. A few thousand people heard their works, usually only once during their lifetimes. Today their are millions of their recordings all over the globe which are played hundreds, or thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of times per week. And you would say their greatness was adequately appreciated during their lifetimes? I think not. Truly great artists are not recognized as such by their own or in their own generation. Bach may have been the concertmaster to a duke, but there were many such concertmasters. Kappellmeister is not chopped liver, but there were many Kappellmeisters about one per Kappell. Hardly consistent with the greatness recognized today. Mozart was famous during his lifetime because he was outrageous. His contemporaries did not understand him, his music was beyond them and they were jealous of his talent. Everyone is an artist. The truly great are not understood or recognized as such during their lifetimes. "Don't believe everything you read." I don't. As you know. PCM
