It always feels strange once the orchestra stops playing annd its the composer that bows for the applause.

Haha as a child of musicians - you are so right about the egos. Great writing too. I still think/dream that an anarchist orchestra could work, with appropriate rethinking of the whole musical career climb crap.. Someday, maybe, people will play for joy, and just to share that joy with each other and with others. No doucherie needed or encouraged.
