"Besides, his music upsets orchestral musicians who have been known to walk off stage during performances."Forgive me if I'm being dense . . . is this a joke? >>
No, it isn't! I'm a psychologist who specialises in seeing musicians in therapy, and this is a fact. Musicians find some music unsettling, and as I said this includes Schumann and Mahler. There was certainly "something of the night" about them.
I'm not saying that the stage empties gradually - that would be the "Farewell" Symphony...........
But seriously - isn't there music which you find unsettling? Add an orchestral musician in an anxiety state and mix carefully, plus throw in a few more stressors (conductor, venue...) and there you have the potential for someone, somewhere to go over the parapet.
