| Abstract |
Fourteen retired musicians from an American symphony orchestra were interviewed to determine details of their careers, medical problems arising during the career and threatening it, and attitudes towards music, the orchestra and their careers. Although medical problems were mentioned, no one problem was found to be incompatible with playing to an advanced age. The musicians' attitudes towards their career and retirement are discussed. |
