A
composer is a
person who writes music.
the term refers particularly to
someone who writes music in
some type of musical notation,
thus allowing others to perform the music.
this distinguishes the composer from a musician who improvises or
plays a musical instrument.
To

composing stick,

and you will be at
great trouble to
meet them. Â
