, 20:12, April 7, 2009→Non-German 'Great' Composers: answer to TK and question for A. Schlafly
:Through out this whole thing two things come to mind 1) What would the ideal ("perfect") language be? How would it sound? How would it be structured? (with these properties established you could qualitatively evaluate a language) and 2) Some nations' ''accomplishments'' have far exceedede those of other nations but they all have the same ''potential''. Who's to say that Brazil or Thailand won't produce the next generation of Bachs, William Shakespeares, or Henry Fords? Past records do not always indicate future performance. --[[User:StevenB|StevenB]] 15:51, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

::I count at most seven Germans in TK's well-thought-out list of his top twenty ''old'' composers, at most five in my list of ten. It would seem to me that the claim '''"most great composers were German"''' is a little bit to bold, and should be reworded - at least, until A. Schlafly shows us his list which may corroborate his statement. [[User:ClementB|Clement ♗]] 16:12, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
