Ten Years. Depending on your relation to those ten years, that could be a long time, or a shorter time....ten years (only!) separate the First and Fourth Piano Concertos of Beethoven (1797 - 1807).
The "Rach" 3rd Piano Concerto was written Summer of 1909 and is considered to be one of the most dificult of all piano concertos!
Beethoven's 7th Symphony was written 1811-12 (only) two decades after Haydn's 93rd Symphony (1791). What a difference twenty years makes!
In Spring 2015 the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra was one of the guest ensembles at the Shaghai Spring International Festival...they play SIbelius' 5th Symphony on tonight's concert.

Dvorak's Opus 65 Trio was written in 1883 when th ecomposer was in his early 40s, so it is a work of 'mature' Dvorak...
While one composer sought to put (paraphraseing) the world in a Symphony (Mahler) the other sought to hone his musical language to creat a one-movement Symphony (Sibelius).
Art: a creation of the human mind that moves us in some way and that upon repeated interaction with the "art" yields enjoyment and perhaps even something 'new' each time, like these two Beethoven symphonies.
