Diseases and early deaths of 200 young composers (Pergolesi, Schubert, Bellini, Mozart, Purcell, Bizet, Mendelssohn, Gershwin, Weber, Chopin, etc.)
As the opposite of long living
composersā majority (more than 60 years)
we stressed here the impressive amount of
composers who died young (younger than
40) focusing on 10 most eminent ones and
their death causes, as well as other 200, accentuating
the youngest ones who died by
the age of 20
Violent deaths among composers (accidents, drownings and murders)
In this study, we described different accidents, drowning and murders as the main cause of death among 145 composers. We included accidents (48 composers), drowning (26 composers) and murders (71
composers) which were mainly fatal, and premature. Accidents are the third leading cause of deaths today. Murders were often during the wars and revolutions (World War I, II, French, Russian revolution). We mentioned all of the etiologies of these accidents, drowning and murders according to the chronological order of their occurrence. Accidents, drowning and murders caused chiefly a sudden interruption of the composerās creative work. Composers involved in these accidents died prematurely at the average age of 46.7 years, whereas murdered composers died at the average age of. 44.4 years, and drowned 44,1 years. It is important to conclude that almost 15% of composers died from accidents, drowning and murders. Poisonings - intoxications and suicides were elaborated in previous publications

Maligne bolesti kao uzrok smrti kod 92 skladatelja/glazbenika (ukljuÄujuÄi ovisnosti)
This study shows malignant diseases as the main cause of death in composers. Pathographies are listed according to the chronological order of their occurrence. Composers in this study died of malignant diseases in the average age of 66.3 years, (median age 67, range 33-91 years). Unfortunately, one part of this heterogeneous group of composers lived too short, while most of them could realize their creative work. Nowadays many of these composers could be cured thanks to the development of medicine, better diagnostic procedures and treatment options, including more selective radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy (monoclonal antibodies, specific target receptor or intracellular signal inhibitors).U ovom radu su prikazane maligne bolesti kao glavni uzrok smrti kod 92 skladatelja. Patografije su navedene kronoloÅ”ki. ProsjeÄna dob smrti skladatelja u ovoj studiji je 66,3 godine (medijan dobi 67 godina, raspon 33-91 godine). Nažalost, znaÄajan dio skladatelja nije mogao zbog malignih oboljenja dostiÄi svoj stvaralaÄki opus, dok je ipak veÄina dostigla stariju dob i stvaralaÄki maksimum. U danaÅ”njici bi mnogi od ovih skladatelja mogli biti izlijeÄeni zahvaljujuÄi napretku suvremene medicine, boljim dijagnostiÄkim postupcima i terapijskim opcijama lijeÄenja. To ponajprije podrazumijeva ciljanu terapiju poput selektivne kemoterapije, imunoterapije (monoklonska protutijela, specifiÄno ciljani inhibitori staniÄnih receptora ili unutarstaniÄnih signalnih puteva)
