This is so true... people often think of classical music as some rich ppl stuff, but in fact most composers were broke af lmao (and mentally ill)
#one of the funniest things is that there's this myth circulating around
#that rachmaninoff composed his prelude in c sharp minor bc of a nightmare he had
#and like
#he had to explicitely say that this rumor waa false
#and he explained
#that he was so broke at the time
#he composed this prelude bc he needed money $$$
#and the thing is he didn't have that much for it at the time
#but later on the prelude got so popular
#but he had no copyright over it
#and got no money from that
#which by that time was fine bc he made himself so much money that he was experiencing “embarassment of riches”
#and donated his money a lot
#but it must have been maddening to know it got popular after the time you REALLY needed the money bc you couldn't buy a coat
#and were ALREADY dealing with mental health issues
#but yeah
#and this goes for many composer like mozart who died with plenty of debts or chopin who died broke
#or wagner who kept exploiting liszt's money lol
#bc liszt go rich by himself like rach
#bc he was raised in a farm
#anyways yeah
#respect
#stop with this stupid stereotype like 🙄🙄
#it literally makes classical music less accessible smh
#rant over ig LOL
