When I was younger I just assumed they sat down at the keys and banged it out, and something was wrong with me for not being able to do that. Could it actually take on average like 1-2 months to write a moving beautiful song?
I'm at the point where I can learn all these songs but I'm curious HOW generally these great masters come up with these beautiful songs. Does it look like: They just go very slow, like working on a tiny melody piece, then a left hand that goes with it, it could take them a while to get a single bar or two down. Then they add a little more. And then a little more. Maybe repeat some parts. Look back and you have an entire beautiful song. Is that exactly it? It's kind of like learning to play a song already created, but instead of reading sheet music for the notes they come from your own brain and heart? It's just a very slow process? I'm trying to back-engineer this. Thank you.
