Might this also be the reason that successful composers starve?
Perhaps there is an inspirational model here?
Why don't composers get themselves exemptions from military service and big government subsidies like the ultraorthodox in Israel? They need to make everyone *afraid* to cross them! There is a precedent.
I don't know anything about music composition, but I suspect it may not be all that different "formally" from Talmudic exegesis (I forget the exact word here).

Why don't jews farm?
Might the reason be largely that the life of the mind cannot flourish among persons who spend the best hours of their lives *toiling*?
