Indeed.
If anything, the trouble with sophisticated toccattas, preludes, fugues
and so forth is making them sound interesting to non-musicians. IMHO,
Bach did this better than most. Still, it's definitely an aquired taste...

I wanted to post a link to Ravel's "Concerto in D major for the left hand"
but unfortunately I did not find one with both a good execution and a
correct sound .
But that is a tricky score and yet very deep and emotional work.

Unless he means "classical" in the strict sense (which I doubt since I'd
tend to call the Moonlight sonata early- or transition-romantic anyway)
then I'm also talking about the same type of music. Even if you exclude
the really insane avant-garde pieces there's plenty of normal classical
(in the general sense) piano music which is harder than the Moonlight
Sonata.
Also, my understanding is that Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz was written
as a piece of music-notational art (or a notational joke) and as not
intended to actually be played, so I wasn't counting it (as well as any
number of electronic or player piano pieces which would also be
impossible to actually perform).

horrid
though I understand techno and classical music fans have one thing in common:
they appreciate music for itself, without the need for lyrics.

It was the only one you enjoyed. One piece from Mozart's Requiem, the
Lacrymosa.

to each his own. I find organ mostly boring too. :)
When I first fell in love with the piano as a child, I found its metallic sound
incredibly futuristic! :D
I also enjoy the harpsichord, at least the flemish ones. Guess I enjoy metallic
percussion.
Of course, the instrument is a just a media to the music. You should give music
a chance.

You're truly unbelievable. Then again, you're not alone in thinking Beethoven
was hard on the ears: Chopin had the exact same opinion. Though he really
enjoyed Mozart music. :)
I'm not all for complexity for complexity's sake, but that movement is truly
mindblowing.

I like classical music, especially a capella ;)

Actually... so do I. ;-)
However, there are a few pieces of organ music which sound really
awesome, which kinda makes up for it. ;-)

Well yeah, there is that too...

I do appreciate some operas and oratorios too. But thankfully, I don't
understand a thing of what those voices are talking about. They still work
beautifully as instruments though.
