Bruckner sounds more sweeping, serious, powerfull, tutti.

Ives sounds either contemporary and dissonant; or uses USA folk melodies.

Only Ives has piano, organ, string quartet. (Bruckner, Ives)

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]

Ives has both simple american popular hymn-like melodies and microtonal, polytonality, polyrhythm, tone clusters.

Only Ives has symphony+vocal, piano song in this game.

Only Poulenc has harpsichord, strings+organ+timpani, vocal church music.

Warning: Ives symphony has vocal. (Ives, Poulenc)
