LL, that's a great point.
In fact, Robert Marcellus is a sort of example of that. The stress of his position in Cleveland (combined with the diabetes he suffered from) ruined his health and forced him into retirement in his mid 40s. There was no workman's comp or disability or anything else for him. Fortunately for him, he was a gifted teacher. Amazingly, despite not having a college degree, he was able to obtain a good job at NU.
I read recently that an alarming percentage of full-time orchestral musicians have suffered from overuse related injuries. These are real, career-threatening, painful conditions.
