3 questions arised from one sentence
"В творчестве этого музыканта преобладают минорные произведения. Их больше, чем мажорных."
This is a sentence from my textbook, it is complex to me that I have several questions regarding it :(
1 How to translate the sentence
2 Are "творчество" and "произведение" in the sentence of the same meaning as creation?
3 I remember another sentence "Сестра более красива, чем брат", so why what we have here is "Их больше, чем мажорных" rather than "Они больше, чем мажорные"
Thanks in advance for your attention
