INFOGRAPHIC BY STEPHEN PRITCHARD
Ever wondered what the famous composers earned for their well-known works? Debated whether you make more money than Mozart?
Stephen Pritchard wondered that too – so he put together an infographic revealing the incomes of composers from Bach to Beethoven.
Figures are in Aussie dollars, just for us. How does your musical income compare?
As a marketer at job-search site Adzuna, Stephen Pritchard’s job is thinking about jobs. He once played piano fairly well, and like many men in their late 20s, his first brush with Beethoven involved a slobbering St. Bernard. The team at Adzuna recently launched a tool in Australia to predict your salary based on your CV – useful for those in the arts looking to negotiate a payrise. It’s called ValueMyCV and the Sydney Morning Herald wrote about it here. You can see the original infographic in British pounds here.
