I don't think so.  Would we argue the facts that F.J. Haydn earned his
keep by composing for his employer, Mozart and Beethoven both looked
forward to earnings derived from premiers of their compositions for their
livelihood as did many other "greats"? Today, every now and then, someone
accepts a commission to compose "Lovely Tonal Music" for some event;
opening of a concert hall, Olympic Fanfare, etc.  Don't you think
composers, great and small, write to BOTH please and satisfy their
audiences and for income, today and in bygone times?
