And why are many musicians small? I can’t help think of AC/DC, Van Halen, Mick Jagger, etc. I have a theory. Many small males in a pre-historic tribe would not be sent to hunt with the men. Instead they were told to stay home and listen to hear if there were any sounds indicating a threat to the village. These people passed their smallness and good hearing to future generations so that eventually many people who were musicians were also small.
Now, I don’t know if this is true. But I could appear to be true.
Franz Liszt was 6’4”
Rachmaninoff was 6”3”
The great Russian bass Chaliapin was 6’6”
