Suggested Characteristics

Musical composers are anything from a revered musician to an uncredited devotee, and their characteristics reflect this duality of recognition. Some composers are egotistical due to the fame they've achieved, whilst others may be humble and unrecognized geniuses who are treated as commoners despite their wealth, and most fall somewhere between the two.
