Your Classical Coffee Break

#140 - Nose to the Grindstone - A Last Look at Making a Living While Chasing the Dream


Listen Later

This coffee break complete the exploration of how composers supported themselves while chasing their passion of music. Debussy lived in a Russia as a piano teacher in the house of a patron. Dvorak had to move to England to get fair compensation for his compositions. Wagner was chased by his creditors while writing his complex pieces. And after writing Findlandia, Sibelius received a lifetime stipend. A nice gig if you can get it.
