I don't see what's wrong with this one, it's nothing forced - that was his haircut back then and unlike most of the atrocities of that era, it still looks kinda cool. Who cares if it made a bunch of Flock of Seagulls fans listen to some Chopin..

I did not intend to criticize this cover.  My point was that it achieves what the other cover tries to achieve, making the artist look "cool."

That's what I thought too... Bach's middle name stylishly blends with the glare on the man's forehead. )))

Really? Did Hanssler lose all of its cover art budget?

Looks like the photo shoot took so long that he caught the sun. I agree, those covers look casual in several ways.

Really all he needs is a red nose and white makeup round the mouth.

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I hate that I've hurt your eyes, Gurn, but remember I had to look at it first! 8)

What time is it? Ask Haydn, he nose.  ;D

Ha!!

Luckily Haydn is greater than any hack graphic designer!

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

That sort of punishment should have been reserved for the person who designed the cover.

And just be glad they didn't carry the concept over to some of the other symphonies with nicknames. We could have suffered Haydn with a bear or a hen or a queen on his head.

Yes, that Haydn cover is a lulu. I guess it is lucky The Hen was not on there.
