How did musicians work during the baroque period?

Most baroque composers were employed by councils, schools, churches, courts and noblemen. They had to serve and work the way it was written in a contract, and therefore there were numerous restrictions to what they could or could not do. Most of them were forced to use their creativeness within the narrow margins imposed by their public charge or the private tastes of their masters. Besides, they could earn some extra money by teaching a number of private pupils, or through the sales of their published works (generally dedicated to powerful patrons). A few fortunate could make a decent living as opera composers or giving public concerts which were normally arranged after subscription. Even so, their art was completely subjected to the changing taste of the public.


How much did Beethoven get paid?

I can't give you specifics without some research-- it's not as if he worked for a "Composition Firm" from 9 to 5 earning a regular salary. In those days composers might be fortunate enough to have rich titled patrons who supported them in their artistic work, usually with requirements to produce various works for the patron's court. A good example of such an artist is Francois Couperin (Le Grand, a contemporary of JS Bach) who was a musician in the court of Louis XIV. By Beethoven's day it was becoming more common to receive some private commissions for the composition of various works. And of course he was a famous and celebrated pianist before deafness overtook him. I think it's very interesting to note that while some composers (notably Mozart) died penniless and destitute, Beethoven managed his affairs in such a way that he was able to take care of himself and even leave an estate.

Who funded the Renaissance?

Private investors and patrons. People like the Medici of Florence, Italy commissioned artists to make paintings and sculptures for them and the churches they supported. The Catholic church also supported arts through providing work in various projects for the church. Perfect example of that would be the Sistine Chapel and St. Peters.
