You've named one composer who is. I don't see where the inductive step applies.

- rob74 4mo agoThe composers who didn't have neat handwriting are forgotten today because nobody could read their (musical) notes...
- Arainach 4mo agoThis is simply not true. Look at Beethoven's manuscripts for instance. https://guides.loc.gov/beethoven/manuscripts https://guides.loc.gov/beethoven/manuscripts
- globular-toast 4mo agoWow. Can we even be sure we're listening to the right thing? Is it actually possible to read this unambiguously or is there an element of context when reading music, similar to how if you're reading prose the next word is probably grammatically correct and makes sense?
- Fritatta 4mo agoExactly. The context makes it all pretty clear. Music has its own grammar, and particularly music of the common practice era from about 1650-1930.
- ternaryoperator 4mo agoThe publisher was generally familiar with Beethoven’s writing and conventions. He’d prepare galleys that Beethoven would proof (and frequently edit). A substantial part of Beethoven’s known correspondence concerns corrections to galleys (and managing payments).
- coliveira 4mo agoThat's one of the reasons why he spent several years to write a single symphony.
- isjcjwndkwmds 4mo agoWhat? What does one thing have to do with the other? Heck, what is up with everyone here just making up bullshit arguments about classical composers? The heck is this nonsense!?
- vixen99 4mo agoYou can check all this out for yourself at IMSL. Tons of holograph copies there for lots of composers. https://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page https://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page
- isjcjwndkwmds 4mo agoSuch as famously the forgotten composer Ludwig von Beethoven. Please, let’s leave the made up arguments to the LLMs.
