No, it was the 4558 and the 741. 4136 is better, but not better enough.
These ARE fine chips, up to gain of about 3 or maybe 10, peaks to a volt or two, and loads above 2K.
At gain of 10 you have less than 40dB of feedback at the top of the audio band, which is not enough to hide the flaws.
741/4558 won't slew fast enough to handle cymbal peaks above 1V or so. Put a triggered-sweep scope on the output, set to just display the loudest peakes, and see if you are exceeding 1V.
In lower level low-gain work, the 4558 revolutionized low-price audio. It really does sound better than the cheap alternatives, and is so easy to design with. But when used for more than a little gain or output, it can't keep up. This got a little notorious, "chip-sound", leading Jung to investigate and clarify slew rate needs.
Also don't starve them. I think the book says they work down to 10V total supply, but they are much happier with 20 or 30V total supply. (However, running from a 9V battery, gain and slew tend to not be problems because you have to keep signal level low to avoid clipping.)
4136 is a slightly improved 741 in a quad-pack with a pinout that did not catch on. Back in 1977, the 4136 was the best alternative to 4558s, but not wonderfully better. From today's perspective, they are the same kind of thing. (Unless you managed to blow-up a 4136: because of the odd pinout, nothing else plugs-in.)
The TL07x series has more slew and bandwidth, can handle 5V peaks and gains over 10. But it is not real happy about its 2K rated load, is much happier if it sees 5K or more. These do tolerate 10V supplies well.
Compared to 4558, the 5534/5532 has a LOT more input bias current, and in 741-like designs with large input resistors a 5532 will bias up all wrong. It also needs more supply current, and really needs a good bypass cap at each chip, whereas 741/4558 can get away with one per board. The 5534/5432 has plenty of GBW and slew for any sane audio need, and will drive 600Ω comfortably.
