A composer may create music in any music genre, including, for example, classical music, musical theatre, blues, folk music, jazz, and popular music. Composers often express their works in a written musical score using musical notation. Many composers are, or were, also skilled performers of music.

How did composers work?

How did composers write for orchestra?

A composer may write directly on orchestral score paper with its twenty-four or more staves.
