Reply to comment by Treesexist_ in I'm (m) 31 years old from Germany and am dying of germ cell cancer! AMA by Reiiser

Hello, all my treatments cost the german people ~165.000€ I myself payed ~ 300 Euros for staying and eating at the hospital (the cap is 300, otherwise I would have paid double?) I payed maybe 300 Euros for meds, but the most probably for cannabis ( 1000?) as government will take those costs very reluctant.

Befor I got cancer I had a full time job. In germany, if you get sick for less than 6 month you get your full pay. After these 6 month you recive 80% of your income for a duration of up to two years. After that you will get only some basics I guess? I did not have to dealt with that.

But I can tell you, that I'm very happy to be born in Germany at this time and age. I did not once think about money through all this time.

With the legacy of the James Levine situation and more and more musicians stepping up to abusive conductors and companies, do you think the role of conductor will change from the lofty "maestro" figurehead role to a more collaborative artist role?

I organized both options - the people from the hospital know I want optimal symthom conrolled so if it comes sudden (eg drowning on my own blood) Ill get what I need so I don't realize it.

I joined 'Sterbehilfe' which is a society you everyone can join for money. If I decide existence is to much pain now, they basically prepare a self inflicted suicide for you. You still have to press the 'button' by yourself thought.

Why do orchestras insist on not choosing anyone during the final round of auditions in an already dying age of orchestra?

Why do orchestras continue to show nepotism by allowing well known players to automatically advance to the final round?

Hey no worries! Basically a written copy of the music they are playing. Going “scoreless” is a conductor going to the podium without any sheet music. The term “score”, in an opera context for example, is end-to-end, all of the instrumental + vocal parts written out in musical notation.
