Right on both counts (poverty and sublimation). I also think there's a 
large group (myself included) who indulge in hi-fi as a sort of
compensation for being given no talent at all for playing or composition.
Instead of revenge on God, Salieri could have chosen to build stereo's
and collect records  etc. In his day, of course, he would have probably
collected instruments and manuscripts. Or he could have started to write
musical criticism.
