La Précieuse Ridicule

I did it! I did it, really! (c)
I transposed a Schubert's Lied completely manually! That took really long, for I'm not used at all to write sheet music - I graduated from my music school nine years ago, and even then I rarely had a need to write something.
I am wondering, how could people in the past - in Mozart's time, for example - to write all this music by hand? And to rewrite for a thousand times? Especially great orchestral scores...

So, I proudly present my handwriting of Staendchen in C-moll (traditionally it's a D-moll, but I had to get rid of the two-lined G - my teacher doesn't let me sing anything reaching so high in this phase)

Предмет моих двухнедельных мучений - "Серенада" Шуберта, транспонированная в до-минор. Знаете, под конец даже нравиться начало... какие бы еще ноты переписать... И даже преподавательница сказала, что для врача я не так уж и плохо ноты пишу...
А главное - оно того стоило! Теперь заметно легче петь.
