Why were Germans so good at music from about 1650 to around 1900?

Just one of those things.

Default Clarification

The question I posed was purely on a humanist level. It is a simple inquiry into the cause and effect of quality music production.

If you look at a map of planet Earth, the British Isles are not physically that large in comparison to many other countries. The same issue goes for total population.

So my question was in the direction of 'what factors encourage the production of so much good music which emanates from this group of island nations ?'

The OP was not intended to impugn the race or national origin of anyone anywhere. I am 100% American. I love the music my country has and continues to produce. The OP was simply an objective question from someone on this side of pond who has greatly enjoyed the music coming out of the British Isles. And that is a considerable amount.

The biggest factor is their status a former globe-spanning empire.

Hi. I 'd agree, though I don't entirely discount U.S. bands either, just heavily lean towards British. I've always had a leaning toward British/Britpop, though I do agree with another that everything contemporary did originally rise from blues. I find music to love throughout decades, but find that no matter what I'm currently listening to, I usually will end up turning, or re-turning to British.

Other than the obvious, going back, England also gave us The Kinks and The Yardbirds (all the top musicians that came out of that band...wow!)
