I heard that music masters such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin were poor all their lives. Why do they continue to create music?

The three people you mentioned did have a bad life, with ups and downs, but only Mozart was poor for most of his life. Beethoven was not short of money, but was relatively poor in his later years. Chopin was poor. At that time, the war in my motherland, Poland, continued and I was displaced.

It’s so funny to compare them with the current ones. These three are all geniuses. Hundreds of years later, they are still popular throughout the ages. But who will know these singers now? What do you think your children, your next generation, know about SHE? Comparing geniuses with mortals, geniuses are always in the minority, and geniuses are generally not understood by mortals. This is true for the three you mentioned, especially Mozart. The greatest genius, unmatched in 500 years.

Mozart relied on music to make a living. He wrote some scores to earn some money, but the money he earned was too little and was not enough. But he is optimistic. Maybe you know that Mozart’s music is very beautiful and cheerful even if you haven’t heard it, but do you know how poor his life was? Music sustains him.

A little bit has not changed for hundreds of years. Geniuses are always in the minority. Geniuses do what they like and don't care about other people's opinions.

You are obviously an outsider when you say this. Beethoven became completely deaf only in his later years. If he had the ability, he would try to be completely deaf from birth. Being completely deaf in his later years is painful only because he cannot hear music, but it does not hinder his creation. The pitch is all in his heart. Mozart started performing when he was 5 years old. When playing the piano, he could cover the keys with a piece of cloth.
