Yes, he was controversial and yes he had a big ego
(but isn't it the history of western music, for the most part,
a long list of ego-maniac personalities?). The "brilliant mind" factor
I also find rather irrelevant. To those "brilliant mind" comments
you could easily attach an unspoken: "horrible man, awful musician,
but a brilliant mind indeed!".
Ultimately, in my opinion, what counts is the music the man left behind,
and his music is almost always powerful, deep, original and full of beauty.
