Some of the most famous composers in history had surprisingly strange routines when it came to creativity — from strict daily habits to unusual rituals and superstitions.

In this episode of The Composer’s Life, we look at some of these quirks and creative behaviours and ask a simple question: did they actually make a difference to the music they wrote?

More broadly, this episode explores the relationship between routine, mindset, and creativity — and whether structure helps composers, or whether it’s just something we attach meaning to after the fact.
