Johann Traeg
Johann Traeg (20 January 1747 – 5 September 1805) was a German music copyist and publisher who flourished in Vienna in the late 18th century. He had business dealings with Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and his catalogs and advertisements are still employed today as a source for historical musicology. Life and career He was born in Gochsheim in Bavaria, and had moved to Vienna by 1779.''New Grove'' He began his work simply by offering hand copies of musical works, working out of his home. This was possible even in the late 18th century, for as David Wyn Jones notes, Austria was at the time not very technologically advanced in this respect: Music-printing was becoming increasingly widespread in the 18th century ...

Music Copyist
A copyist is a person that makes duplications of the same thing. The term is sometimes used for artists who make copies of other artists' paintings. However, the modern use of the term is almost entirely confined to music copyists, who are employed by the music industry to produce neat copies from a composer or arranger's manuscript. Music copyists Until the 1990s, most copyists worked by hand to write out scores and individual instrumental parts neatly, using a calligraphy pen, manuscript paper, and often a ruler. Producing parts for an entire orchestra from a full score was a huge task. In the 1990s, copyists began using scorewriters - computer programs which are the music notation equivalent of a word processor. (Such programs include ''Sibelius'', '' Finale'', '' MuseScore'' or ''GNU LilyPond''). Scorewriters allow the composer or songwriter to "enter" the melodies, rhythms and lyrics to their compositions into the computer using a mouse or by playing the notes on a MIDI- ...
