Because we already have Bach? It would be stupid to be just a copycat of someone, that's why every famous artist in history at one point got fed up from copying the past's masters and finally did their own thing achieving greatness.
- bwanab 2y agoExactly. There are so many questions like this that all have the same answer: why don't they paint like Kandinsky <pick your own favorite>? Why don't they write like <pick your favorite writer>? It's a non-sensical question.
- sdwr 2y agoIt's a very sensible question. The real Q being asked is: Is greatness about skill, or about getting lucky (right place at the right time)? and that question is really: Do I matter? Do my feelings (which feel so real to me) affect the outside world?
- Almondsetat 2y ago"Greatness" is a quality we give to a person as a society, Bach himself risked being forgotten because only a small part of society remembered him. Greatness is of course a question of luck, because no matter how skilled you are you are still at the whims of history.
- rc_mob 2y ago.. as long as the people who remember you are wealthy and powerful
- coldtea 2y ago>Because we already have Bach? It would be stupid to be just a copycat of someone Never prevented us to have tons of artists doing music the style of other artists... The premise is wrong anyway, people do make music in the style of Bach, both exactly in that style and borrowing from Bach, but also in general baroque/romantic/melodic classical styles.
- Integrape 2y agoJust like Greta Van Fleet, who are extremely talented, but they sound like a cheesy Led Zeppelin tribute band. I just can't listen to them.
