[net.music] Bach's Eyesight

jer@peora.UUCP (J. Eric Roskos) (07/10/85)

In one of the recent postings debating whether or not J. S. Bach is as good
as Kate Bush, someone said something like "Bach lost his eyesight writing
<some piece of music>."

What kind of problem did Bach have with his eyesight, exactly?  Can you get
this same problem from looking at a terminal's CRT for too long?

(This really is a serious question, not a joke...)

Mail to me and I will summarize if there are any replies.  Thanks.
