Read each paragraph and then choose the letter of the main idea
A composer's working methods are unique to his or her personality. Some composers are fluent2
and fast: Rossini, it is said, preferred rewriting a page to picking up a leaf of manuscript fallen to
the floor, and Mozart appears to have been able to keep the totality of a work in his mind's ear at
every turning point. Beethoven worked with great difficulty; Mahler revised compulsively,3
forever tinkering with bass drum strokes and cymbal crashes.
Adapted from D. Kern Holoman, Masterworks: A Musical Discovery (New York: Prentice-Hall, 1998), 7.
