Biographies of classical musci composers were examined for family constellation information. Usable data were found for 80 composers. Firstborns, especially only children, were found significantly more frequently than in a sample of creative writers studied by Bliss. Increased frequency of firstborns was also suggested in a study of musical performers by Raychaudhuri. Classical musci composition was seen as an ability more similar to usual academic pursuits than creative writing.
对古典音乐作曲家的传记进行了研究，以获取家庭构成信息。为80位作曲家找到了可用数据。结果发现，长子，尤其是独生子女，出现的频率明显高于布利斯研究的一组创意作家样本。雷乔杜里对音乐表演者的一项研究也表明长子出现的频率有所增加。与创意写作相比，古典音乐创作被视为一种更类似于普通学术追求的能力。
