some random trivia that every classical music buff should know...
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) composed 205 musical works. of those, 138 were cataloged and given opus numbers by himself and his pulishers. 138 works that turned music forever on its ear. the renegade. the revolutionist. in my mind, the greatest composer to ever live.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) composed right at 1000 musical works. of those, 626 were cataloged and given opus numbers by ludwig köchel (kv). 626 pieces of sheer perfection, typically flowing straight from the maestro's pen with not a single correction required.
