I am not too sure whether there were some options, but there is something I have heard about: giving classes or teaching.
Very often when you read about the lives of the musicians, you hear them teaching the rich and often being flustrated at having to do it; since the rich are not onlways talented. But they need to do it to close their budget.
A. Multiple Voices - During Bach's time, a chorale was a chorus sung at
church cantata, also known as church hymns. Bach borrowed these popular hymns and harmonized the voice with accompanying
alto, tenor, and bass voices. To this, he filled out the four-part
harmonies with the text of the hymn and the end product
would be called a chorale.
Their points of view. Artists will go far to prove their points by using symbolism, poetry, all that good stuff. Like this for Example: you see an overly exaggerated crow in a small cage. The artist is conveying he/she is stuck in a boring life with a lot of rules (An edgy dude would make something like that). Something like that, I guess. hoped this help if it did please make me brainliest
