And I want to ask, did Sokolov listen to what he plays? Why did he
choose to play this unmusical work?

There is a short moment in the second movement I find sort of
interesting… the rest is just — I don’t understand… Schönberg creates
interesting colors… but this… what am I supposed to see here? Beautiful
form? I don’t understand… if the form were beautiful or good the work
would be good… but this is not good…

I have trouble understanding why people like this… what moments people
especially like in this piece…

I don’t understand how people are endlessly fascinated by this piece,
how people devote so much time studying this — I don’t like Chopin, but 
I can see why people would like to play him…. But this?!?!

Sure probably there are things here no one did before… but it sounds
like shit…
