Great post. I know lots of classical musicians but never heard of this dynamic before.
I suspect there may be something similar with opera singers (of whom I know hardly any), because unlike other classical musicians (and other singers), who are generally nice friendly low-ego people, opera singers reportedly really are vain prima donnas obsessed with their image and beating everyone else, hence likely to be major sufferers of this syndrome.
