Let’s take for example the nocturnes of Chopin.
My preferred one is nocturne n. 20
He certainly didn’t have studio machine to record their sound AFAIK
How then did he memorize and write down everything to remember later?
Did he start playing the piano, write down the notes, continue playing or did he memorize the whole song by heart without any writing process?
Sorry 4 my bad English btw. Not a English native speaker.
EDIT : thanks everyone for the explanation.
