I dunno about novels or plays, but Orson Welles was 25 when he made Citizen Kane. I think it all matters on how accessible the medium is to young people. Modern music is VERY accessible, because there are so few limitations that you can really do whatever you want and while it may not be good, you've got a better chance of its being so since the concepts behind music are comparatively simple. If we were talking about the world of composition, on the other hand, things would be much different. I doubt that we'd see many young brilliant composers, unless they were Mozarts (i.e. helped along heavily by parents).
