Most composers were not rich due to several factors, including the unpredictable nature of patronage, which relied heavily on the support of the aristocracy and churches that could fluctuate based on economic conditions. Additionally, many composers were not able to capitalize on their works through copyright protections, as these were not well-established until the 19th century. The market for music was also limited, with many compositions performed only locally and not widely disseminated. Lastly, the costs of living and supporting a family often outweighed their earnings from compositions and performances.
Opus (Latin 'work') numbers are assigned to the compositions of many composers as they are published and/or composed. They may provide a fairly reliable indication of when a work was written, but there is a lot of variation in how they have actually been used. Many composers' works have no opus numbers, or randomly-allocated numbers. Often their compositions have been analysed and catalogued by other people in chronological, or some other logical, order, and those catalogues may take the name of the cataloguer. Hence, for example, Mozart's compositions have Köchel numbers, Haydn's have Hoboken (or Hob) numbers, and Schubert's have Deutsch numbers.
