Be a philosopher who only thinks about music.

Philosophy + music...  I'm thinking that has to be one of the least practical things to do out there.  I was going to say add teaching to that, but you can make money teaching.

There is alot of writing that has been done on philosophy + music.  You get to read this kind of stuff in musicology studies.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

More pianists than any other kind of musician earn money without teaching or performing - they're rehearsal pianists for opera, dance, college students (though in that job you inevitably end up doing some sort-of performing at least, if only in front of the rest of the student's class), singers' coaches, and so on. I do all right at it and it's enjoyable work.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.
