Ugh. Thanks for the link, I think. The new 'Eroica': a completely neat idea, yet a completely unnecessary piece.
Never mind that it sounds like high-school band music, as the blogger noted. The work's real crimes are that it's completely unstructured and that it calls itself a symphony but is only five minutes long. Even G.B. Sammartini didn't write them that short, and he still got a basic ABA form in!
