I was expecting a short piece in binary form with well balanced dissonance and consonance that uses counterpoint efficiently that i may or may not have heard before and would have annoyed me if it was played on piano and not harpsichord I was pleasantly surprised

Chopin once said "Do not express Chopin. Express yourselves." From my observations those who call Chopin mediocre are those who have nothing to say on their own.

I'm gonna go with Mahler. Probably his 3rd since it's his longest, but maybe his 6th which is his flashiest (non choral) symphony and was written when he was going through some deep shit.
Gould was incredibly succint and articulate, and very knowledgeable. Imagine what an absolute authority he would be, had he not ruined it by being an autistic moaning asshole.

You DO listen to highbrow music, don't you, /classical/?
>Have you heard a sperg talk about his hobby? well yeah, a number of them, actualy, and muuuuch more often than not they speak too quickly and in a weird monotone. Granted, they don't trip on their words but you can tell they're not apt to, say, teach a class

>if it sounds random you need ear training You're right. For instance, dodecaphony is very restricted compared to tonal music and sounds bland because it is so uniform by design. I think user has a point because mashing together all the notes like this cancels out the expressive potential. It's like when you put all your spices in a dish. No chef is going to argue that this good cooking :o

Jokes aside, Gould wasn't autistic. He was super neurotic and didn't give a fuck about his conversational partner. Practically he gave monologues because he really conversed with his overbearing mother that - i feel - he disliked. His points and ideas were original and interesting at least
