Hindemith was German, but emigrated to the US. You ask for composers and yet require Rodgers and Hammerstein for the Carousel answer – but for Lerner and Loewe you only want Loewe. Suggest allow just Rodgers as the answer to Carousel etc as this is about composers rather than lyric writers. As for Gilbert and Sullivan, the same applies (Sullivan is the composer) but they are not even remotely "American" even though their music was popular in the US during their lifetimes. Also they are 1800s rather than 1900s. But I don't think they should be here at all.

Hi! I appreciate this a lot. For some reason, the paper I used as my source for this quiz had Gilbert and Sullivan under American composers, I apologize for not fact checking. Also, I have never heard of the "Lerner and Loewe" collaboration, only Loewe (which is also what the paper I used said), I will correct this. Just "Rodgers" should be good enough to answer his question now as well. I will fix Gilbert and Sullivan in the same way. I will also rename the quiz to just Composers. Thank you for letting me know these things, if there's anything else I should fix or anything I miss let me know! This is my first quiz so I appreciate this a lot.

Thank you :) I noticed that there's a severe lack of composer quizzes, so I decided to make one! It was mostly for me, but I decided to make it public just for giggles. Thank you again for the information!
