I read that Koechlin would start by sketching the rhythms and meters first for a work, which strikes me as  bizarre.

Here's what sketches look like; they are fragments, ideas, bits and pieces that eventually are worked into a cohesive whole:

Not bizarre at all if you're dealing with complex rhythms...or if the work is driven by rhythm... 8)
Imagination + discipline = creativity
