Division of Compositional Career in Five-Year Periods
This page shows how many works and pages Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji wrote in each five-year period from 1914 (the date of his first known work) to 1988 (the year of his death). The table shows the number of works and pages both as a number and as a proportion of the total.
Sorabji began to turn his attention away from composition in 1962 and produced no works between 1968 and 1972 until he met Alistair Hinton. This explains the sharp drop from 1,142 in 1960-64 to 198 and 124 pages in the next two periods.
