But when we're talking economics, then we're talking about music as a
profession, not as an
art.
The economics cannot be separated from the art.
Many talented, and even gifted musicians, all around the globe put their music aside to earn a living.
They get rusty. Even on an individual level.
It's hard to see what is missing, because a lot of art just doesn't get created because of it.
It doesn't put a complete end to art, there's just a lot less bands practising at an Olympic level.
