MUSIC WRITING FAQ'S
Q: How long will it take to write my music?
A: That depends on the work required. An original composition for a trio could take tens of hours of work, whereas a transcription of a famous Mozart piece could be only a few hours. It is imperative that the client recognize that the composer is largely at the mercy of the music. Please rely on your rough estimate, and stay in contact with the composer.
