Saw (in Helmond, of all places) a powerfull painting by Pieter Josselin de Jong from 1897 that reminded me of Ilya Repin, whose miracles can only be seen in the Russian Musuem in Saint Petersburg. To my regrets I can't find a copy in colour:
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

It is very like Repin.

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
