Often composers write their greatest works when they're older. Verdi's masterpiece "Falstaff" was written when he was 79. Copland wrote "Proclamation" at 82. Rachmaninoff's final work, the "Symphonic Dances was written when he was nearly 70.

While I respect E. Carter....I've never cared much for his music. But I'm a Romantic at heart.

I understand that Leoš Janáček is another composer who didn't really find his voice until he was around 50.
