Take for example the Bartok String quartets, I cannot think anything much more complex than that, and that music just grabs me drags me along for the jagged ride beats me up messes up my brain and spits me out on the other end exhausted from the experience, and i did not once stop to think about the complexity because i connect with the soul of the music on an emotional level. I never managed to get to Mozart that way, just when i get close to it he gets into some snarky crap that drags me out of the emotional experience and makes me concentrate on the sudden WTF or some other crap. Like being taken for a tango, just to be kicked in the groin. :). I cannot explain why. I am not trying to follow scores, i suck at it anyway, or analyze the structure of his music, he shoves his stuff in my face when i least expect it, and i hate that.That is why he and i never will get along :) But that is cool, i do not have to like him for him to be great, Don't even ask me what i think of Tchaikovsky :).
edit: One more analogy. I know how much skill and design and ingenuity goes making a a Louis VIX curved side commode it is mind boggling, and i know what it takes to make a George Nakashima or James Krenov piece or the rocker of Sam Malouf. The later pieces may look simpler, but could not have been made in the time of Louis VIX, furniture making had to evolve to that point. And you know what I would never want to own a Louis VIX piece, i cannot stand the way they look :).Gladly would have any of the mid century masterpieces.
