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]

Very simple island.

Weill is very popular and jazzy. (Britten, Weill)

Walton sounds melancholic, bittersweet, rhythmic.

Britten sounds more complex.

Only Britten has cello sonata in this game.

Only Walton has cello concerto, viola concerto, declamation with orchestra in this game.

Britten songs can sound more simple, but some of them are in french. Walton does not have french performances in the game.

I consider this to be a difficult island and would be glad to hear better suggestions. (Britten, Walton)

Compare two english composers: modern Britten and contemporary Birtwistle.

Britten sounds more tonal, conservative, uses popular tunes.

Birtwistle sounds more complex, chaos, juxtaposing blocks, comic quoting. (Birtwistle, Britten)
