Well, how does one hear the works that makes one a True Connoisseur and
Lover of Art if one doesn't spend money? It seems to me one will have to
spend money (and remain a consumer) for tickets, recordings, and sheet
music.
The solution sounds suspiciously like total abstinence from learning new
work, and I doubt it leads to a better situation than what we have now,
bad as it is.
