Johann Sebastian Bach walked a very long distance to watch one of his contemporaries perform an organ recital. In 1705, Bach hoofed it from the central German town of Thuringia to the northern town of Lubeck so he could sit in on a performance of one among several of his influences, the German-Dutch composer Dieterich Buxtehude.
It is 200 miles between Thuringia and Lubeck.
