Reminder that Mozart and almost all other classical music is 95% technical one-up-manship or show-offery and 5% actual music substance. It was basically the prog-metal of its day

Can you please explain specifically which portion of this piece is 5% actual musical substance and what empirically differentiates it?

Well for starters, there's only a memorable melody for a small portion of the piece and the main bulk of it is just piano wankery

wtf i'm a poptimist now

>implying that technical one-up-manship/show-offery and actual music substance are mutually exclusive
Apart from that (and your singling out of progressive metal for also being like this when in reality ALL musical genres past and present are primarily like this) I actually agree with you. And I'm saying that as a professional classical musician.

I think you missed a few key words in my post, friend.

Please tell me SPECIFICALLY which portion of the piece has a memorable melody, and then please explain to me EMPIRICALLY what is different about that portion compared to the rest of the "piano wankery."

piano wankery is exactly what it sounds like, showing off to show off
it's not different than what Yngwie does on every song.
