Of course, if you're not content with seeing the gravesites of dead musicians, you can commune with them in other ways.

How about a death mask? It was the practice, especially in the days before photography, to take molds of the faces of the celebrated dead, which could then be reproduced. Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Mahler, and Liszt were all submitted to this treatment. In fact, you can easily surf the Web and find Liszt death masks for sale today. The mask, the vendor claims, will "enhance any space."

	Franz Liszt, Totentanz (Dance of Death)
