and I got the point about Bach composing more in an organizational sense than Chopin. That makes perfect sense to me. It's just that the tone in which the information was delivered seems to imply a supposed hierarchy amongst composers that I think is completely unnecessary. It certainly doesn't enhance my love or understanding of music to hear someone imply that one composer is "greater" than another due sheerly to differing styles...but. Just my opinion. Worth roughly 2 cents.

Saying someone is "not capable of composing abstract" music constitutes a bash. Bach is my favorite composer ever, but it's clear that he can't compose something like the "Ocean Etude". Chopin, in fact, is a terrible example for this kind of facile comparison, since he is (amongst the Romantics) almost as singularly concerned with harmonic detail as Bach; his preludes are an obvious elaboration of Bach's own inventiveness in preludes (no. 1 in particular); he composed high-art dance forms. &c

How interesting! Interesting in that Schoenberg's music will eventually be abandoned and forgotten as the banal academic tinkering that it is. Bach, who needs no endorsement from Schoenberg or his students, will live forever. The universality of Bach was commonly understood long before Schoenberg, by the way. Bach's greatness as a composer was brought to the fore by composers of the Romantic Period, especially Mendelssohn. "Chopin was not capable..." who is she to say such a thing?

That is the point she was making. That Chopin's composing style was meant solely for the piano and the way he wrote his music makes it difficult to transcribe on to other instruments. It was based on piano sonority, rather than abstract organization.

I don't think any of that has any importance on the music.

What an astonishingly insightful and forward thinking lady. It isn't often you can find accomplished classical musicians willing to experiment with synthesizers. The Polymoog would place this sometime in the mid to late 70's. It was a fairly advanced analog synth, but sadly someone should have programmed a more pleasing patch for her. It didn't have to sound like an early 1960's combo organ! Still, it helped to make her point about the universality of Bach's music.
