According to Dan Brown in his newest book, "Origins", Beethoven was the
inventor of "bone conduction technology", who upon going deaf,
discovered that he could fix a metal rod to his piano, and bite down on
it as he played, enabling him to hear perfectly, through vibrations in
his jaw bone.
And "BAD" music? Well, it's all relative, but I have to say, that I
pity the hordes of poor sophomore students who have to dredge through
those endless uninspiring etudes of low musical value, when learning
the piano or the classical guitar, by third rate composers who should
have kept to their painting.

Hi everyone,
I have set up a transcription project for the Filippo Dalla Casa
Bologna manuscript -- see [2]http://fandango.musickshandmad
e.com/dalla-casa.
I am a little concerned however that many people seem to think that
music is really, really bad... - so bad that it is not worth
transcribing from grand staff to tablature, thus keeping it in the
safe zone of the not seen, not heard until the end of times (and
perhaps beyond, if at all possible)
I personally find that music not worse than average - I know
little about the 1760s music-wise... Am I the only one with such bad
taste in music I cannot recognize "bad music"????
What makes bad lute music? Does it even exist? What - or who - comes
to mind? Have you met with it? What do you think about the Dalla
Casa music (some of which is not by him)? Do you think he should
have stuck to his painter's brushes?
Alain
PS: bad French joke: Beethoven was so deaf that all his life he
thought he was a painter...
