The Spokane Chronicle Nr. 289 (Spokane, Washington) übernimmt auf S. 4 den Artikel der Washington Post vom 17.7.1910 über Überlegungen zu den Schädeln von Komponisten:
" Your Skull Fits Your Brain Capacity
"Although not all the causes that operate the
formation of the human head are known at the present time, et [sic] we do
know that one of the principal factors in the skull formation is the
development of the brain itself," said Professor Tandler in a lecture on
musicians' skulls delivered before the Vienna Medical Association.
To put it plainly, he continued, every person has the skull that fits
his or her brain. Therefore, when we discuss musical heads we must
first consider musical brains.
There is no doubt, said
Professor Tandler, that musicians' brains are more than normally
developed in the region just over the upper temple, and this development
invariably causes a corresponding protuberance in that part of the bony
skull. As examples the professor gave details of his observations on
the formations of the skulls of Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, and
other well known composers." (**).Zitierhinweis:
