Being one of the large 'ALL' islands, this one Still does not seem to be the most difficult, because modern composer differences sound more pronounced than for example Romantic. [All Modern]

Three modern composers. Holst resembles film music. Ruggles writes for orchestra, sounds atonal, fundamental and has long dynamic and pitch waves. Varèse - noisy, microtonal, sonoristic, rhythmic. (Holst, Ruggles, Varèse)
