A few teachers and I have been having a great conversation about what composers would be on Facebook if they lived in our time. It’s been quite a hilarious discussion and I’d invite you to check it out. Here are a few comments to whet your appetite!
From Susan:
The way I see it, Beethoven would never join FB; he was too unsocial. However, he would constantly email complaints about his pianos. Bach, too, would think FB was a waste of time, but he would look at his wife’s and children’s pages. He would not give out his email because he was sick of questions about ornaments.
From Ivea:
Schubert couldn’t possibly afford to be on fb. Clementi will have fb advertisements for his pianos and publications…
Dan says:
Brahms was known to go to the pub, so maybe he may get online. However, his wit was sharp and personal, so I don’t think he’d have fawning type friends…
and Dan again:
