Musicians were one of the fastest growing professional groups of the period. Urbanization, improved transport, growing incomes, more leisure time, and the commercialization of entertainment created unprecedented opportunities for players in new, enlarged symphony and opera orchestras, seaside bands, theatres, music halls, and restaurants and for teachers in a hierarchy which ranged from the sixpence-a-lesson professor to the coveted status of a university chair.
