So this is about performers and not about listeners?
I was thinking that you were leaving out listener preferences, but,
perhaps you are only talking about live performances.
Music has always been more about performers rather than listeners, since
listeners can't listen to music which performers won't perform.
Listener-power comes in when they decide whether they will listen a
second time or not, but to start with if the music is never performed,
the listeners will never get to make that choice.
