I thought Vivaldi did more. The style of music was such that they could 
virtually sketch it out in shorthand, and leave it to the copyists to expand 
to proper notation for the musicians to play. I imagine that it was also the 
job of copyists to fix the typos.

In other words, high productivity was a direct consequence of adoption of a 
cookie-cutter style.
