In addition to his London pursuits related to invention, politics, and letters, Franklin also applied his creativity to music.
In addition to his London pursuits related to invention, politics, and letters, Franklin also applied his creativity to music. He played the harp and violin and attended concerts, at which he first heard music played on wineglasses. Franklin, ever the innovator, subsequently created his glass armonica, for which Mozart and Beethoven and many others composed. Franz Mesmer used it in his treatment of patients and Franklin eventually was asked to pass judgment on whether Mesmer was a healer or a fraud.
