One detail that really bugs me about this article:How is a cellist making 81k 2013 dollars as a cellist a failure of the web? That sounds like a decent amount of success to me, for what is a pretty niche genre. Would anything other than playing in an orchestra even allow a cellist to make even close to that before the web? Seems very strange and/or out of touch to claim this as a failure.
- Finnucane 8y agoA cellist at a top city orchestra might make more than that, but those spots are few.
- ikeyany 8y agoTop orchestras pay well into 6 figures. $80k is definitely above average.
- arkades 8y ago> She writes, composes, plays and tours widely, and has released a number of very successful albums. Keating enjoys a level of success that is beyond the wildest imagination of even the most talented musicians I think the premise of his argument is that that’s her income as “wild success in the field of (musicians)”, not “reasonably successful in the field of (cellists)”.
- coldtea 8y agoIt's not some obscure cellist playing chamber music. It's a world famous pop cellist, with tons of fans, big tours, etc etc.
