How Tall Were They? Inquiring Minds...

Really? 

Did someone really query the topic of the heights of famous composers?

If only I had the luxury of time to ponder trivial topics such as this!

It does make one realize that physical attributes have very little to do with creativity.

I like that in music outward appearances do not impact talent and abilities.

Stereotypes abound.

Most would never peg Grieg, at 5'1", and athlete so yes, he could be a composer. On the other hand Rachmaninov could have been recruited by the NBA solely asked on his height.

The music field though often perceived as snobbish and clique-ish has a place for everyone.

I see this line up and as I read each name a particular work comes to mind.

I like that my association with this image sharing physical attributes is contrary to what the creator intended. I see a group of men whose music has influenced my own musical life.

And so I am blessed to end the day with a playlist of these men' music resonating in my mind.

Play on!
