Were those tons of composers like Greenberg doing that sort of work at age 14?

Greenberg on the lack of anything really new in classical music. I think this is publicly available--let me know if it isn't.

Tentative hypothesis: people mostly get hooked by melody and rhythm, but classical has been exploring timbre (to the extent that it's exploring anything) for quite a while.

Re-reading Greenberg's article makes me want to compose some classical dubstep.
