On a related note, there are some who doubt a virtuoso pianist of the 
19th century such as Liszt were all the good (despite the account from 
other composers that he would play difficult concerto pieces on first 
sight) because there was no recording.

I've also heard some jazz guys suggesting Bach's music was played more 
relaxed back them, rhythm-wise.  Which is too say, it'd sound quite a 
lot like jazz, rather than with its characteristic rhythmic sameness 
found in recordings.

Forgetting the past and then reimagining it has led to many works of 
fiction as well.  The greek forgot their past mycennean civilization and 
came up with the Illiad to explain the many wars in oral legends and The 
ages of man to explain the bronze obssession of the previous bronze age 
civiliations.

I wonder how future civilizations will reimagine our dark digital age. 
"These guys surely were a quiet lot!"
