No, it was not about a John Cage piece (speaking of which, I was gonna post some Cage before seeing your comment).

It was actually this piece:

Hans Werner Henze: Violin Concerto No.2 (1971)

A fine example of what happens when a classical music composer kinda loses the plot, develops ADD and ventures off into the woods of lala land. To be honest, I personally don't find this all that shitty (I've certainly heard worse), it actually has some very interesting and even funny parts in between the chaos, going back and forth between depth and frivolity.

Pompous intellectual cringe. Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Might make for an interesting Fantasia segment though.

My stretched limits for experimental music end at things like The Residents and Noise Unit.
