Rualark 2015-03-12 23:56:52	Prokofiev sounds russian folk, rhythmic, sardonic. Barber sounds more romantic. Only Prokofiev has vocal in this game. (Barber, Prokofiev)
Rualark 2015-03-12 23:55:47	Barber generally sounds more romantic. Bartók is folklore+dissonances. Only Bartók has string quartet, vocal in this game. (Barber, Bartók)
Rualark 2015-03-10 23:09:37	Simple island. Milhaud sounds more brazil dance, polytonal, jazzy, percussive, brazil dance, dissonating. Barber is more serious, logic orchestra/chamber music. (Barber, Milhaud)
