I look forward to listening to it.
On thinking about it further, I think I can describe a further less quantifiable form of complexity that appeals to me. Emotional complexity. I saw a post earlier by Minimalist who said that Rachmaninov leaves him cold. How anyone can be left cold by the second piano concerto, or Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini I don't know but I accept that different people respond differently to different forms of music. It makes sense that as music theory has developed, it has become more nuanced and has developed a wider vocabulary for expressing certain emotional states that listeners can respond to in certain ways. So it might possibly be because of this that I respond more to modern classical music.
This is probably why I have never enjoyed listening to Berg for example.
