Deryk Barker quoted:
>Vivaldi is an old man, who has a prodigious fury for composition.
>I heard him undertake to compose a concerto, with all the parts,
>with greater dispatch than a copyist can copy it.
> Charles de Brosses, 1739.
Good grief, what would he have done with computer music-writing software?
Write a concerto, copy the file, make a few changes, copy again ... He
would have written thousands!
