I think the equation changed recently. Many more gigs, because so less people are playing an instrument to a certain level nowadays. Here in Hamburg Germany (with a population of 1.8m) there are maybe like two good pianists. It's actually relatively easy to earn money with music through concerts nowadays.
- bluGill 4y agoI don't know what the situation is like in Germany, but here in the US there are far more people who are good at music than there are jobs. There are a lot more than 2 great Pianists in Des Moines (population 700k). I'm pretty sure just out local universities' piano professors account for more than two, plus their students are presumably great in their own right (I have not checked to see what they have) I have to believe Hamburg has some form of university with great professors.
- _glass 4y agoOkay, there are some great pianists. But not many that can organize a show. It was a bit tongue in cheek, but so many are feeling entitled and have no business skills.
