Brian Wilson is best American composer as he's much better than the pseudo-intellectual crap usually posted here.
Anyone who uses 'pseudo-intellectual' is a bigger pseud than whatever they are trying to critique.
Carter's songs are underrated.

Nothing beats Ives
Is it allowed to start playing an instrument when you're like 30 years old? I am currently 18 and I've played violin and piano for 8 years, and now I'm gonna drop them for trombone. However, I really, REALLY want to double with the oboe but with my current budget and time I can only afford playing the trombone. Is the oboe one of those instruments that you have to start early on? To be frank I prefer the oboe over the trombone but I have a crush on the trombone teacher at the local music school so I decided on that instead.
If you're already a trained musician and you put the time and effort into another, I see no issues. There are a few virutosi who mastered two or three, sometimes even 4 instruments. It's all a matter of mind and, of course, time.
Good 20th century's composers: Ives, Prokofiev.
How similar are woodwind and brass to each other? I hope that by learning the trombone I'll get used to using embouchure to create sound. And virutosi who mastered organ, piano, violin and viola don't count
