It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I will only say this...

167.181.12.201

If the intents of the composer are to state EXACTLY what it is they have stated and, by those standards, the music is demonstrably successful (structure, texture and sound), one cannot make a statement such as you made: "the music has failed". The only condition that has come to be is that the listener (you or I) "doesn't like the music as a matter of personal opinion".

It's a subtle point that may be moot here, since you're closing statement, "it does not follow that I am equally captured by his music" is not as absolute as the "music failed" view, and I may be reading too much into what you are intending, in the end to say.

I take it you are not "dismissing the worth" of Mozart or Schoenberg, you simply don't like them. If you are saying more than that, the only way to do so honestly is by addressing them systematically, according to the "rules" that these composers were actually applying. Even with that accomplished, it is simply not true in any way that someone else that may continue to disagree with you is exerting any kind of "superiority" -- it is not a logical conclusion. It is simply a matter of expressing an opinion based on a different point of reference.
