I agree with you, and have some additions. Bach made mostly mathematical constructed music i.e. counterpoint. Mozart is genius of heart. Beethoven is heavy. And piano is my instrument of choice. But let us not restrict to western music. I find so much joy in non western tunings. At the end it is all about frequencies, even atoms and electrons have frequencies. The ones who want to restrict, want to restrict life. Music is about everything or Oll (yes, I write oll instead of all, because the O is oll).

Btw. I am doing research and compositions now with Negative Harmony. Check out Jacob Collier.
