Has one graphed power/weight ratio vs. calories? I would
guess that the slope isn't very acute.

Why? Certainly the possibility of bowling Bradman for nought
wasn't a major one.

Bad orchestra to mediocre orchestra to good orchestra. I got up
to the middle level, barely,  but did most of my professional
work on parallel tracks - freelance jobs, chamber music, and
the shows route. Soloists tend to be on a completely separate
schedule - they're on that track usually from the beginning.
It was Milstein, I think, who lamented that soloists don't
usually get the all-around experience of a working musician,
even though very few actually do (he didn't, himself, to any
substantial degree).

And aside from the fact that most conservatory students go
into the streets and undergrounds for a brief time, no.

As with most such ploys, you will probably be met with
mixed success.
