Any of John's favourite composers are nervous composers because John may drop them at any moment without notice.
LOL!

Thanks to Vandermolen on the Milford thread

His friend Finzi was another one. I think that he repeated the same year at school for either three or four years with deliberately feigned fainting fits. According to himself he was saved from breakdown by his marriage.

What about Tchaikovsky? I love his music - but his biography, as I recall it, contains more stressed and nervous pages than any other composer's.

Yes, he came very much to mind. First movement of 'Pathetique' Symphony in particular.
