Either appeared a complete musician, or just took his time.
Brahms spent 24 years (yes, twenty-four years), on and off, composing his first symphony. Most members of this site haven't even been alive for 24 years. He was just 18 years old when he started it; he was 42 when he finally completed it, which meant that at the time it was premiered he was a middle-aged man who had literally spent more than half his life writing that single piece. Now that's patience!

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!
Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
