Compositions


Mozart, we read, took about two weeks at the end of May and the beginining of June in 1778, to write his 30th symphony. The opera Psyche, it's sometimes claimed, was composed - score and libretto - in a mere three weeks. And Beethoven authored his sublime string quartet No. 19 (opus 135) over a span of roughly two months, in 1826.

Above, a photo of L's composition, Cleo Dahlia, who took just over nine months.
