Dyslexia was first described in 1896, and proper diagnoses weren't made until much later, but there are many modern-day musicians who've been diagnosed as dyslexic.
Modern-day composers who have dyslexia include:

A case in point is the assertion on many dyslexic websites that John Lennon was dyslexic Although in the 1950's and 60's diagnoses of dyslexia were becoming commonplace. It was never mentioned by John Lennon in his whole life. Neither by friends, close relatives or teachers.
Only one single comment in an unauthorized biography by Albert Goldman, penned after John Lennons death. Stated that his behavior in school could be related to dyslexia. (John Lennon was legally blind without his glasses)
From that one comment the whole dyslexic world has claimed John Lennon as one of their own.
