Exactly. I brought that up so you would see that my comments about Germanic composers was not some crazy adoration of all things Germanic. I would say that you people should stick to music, but I don't think anyone is writing anything very good these days. Maybe you should stick to making cars and beer and wine and schnapps. You know, important things in life.

My initial thought is to be insulted by that. But a master of something is likely better than nothing.

And that is why you have salvation at hand. No one is better than JSB. That is a fact, not a matter of opinion. Isn't that one of the things proven by the LHC?
