I agree the Brahms thing was pretty much a throwaway. The 2 songs that really carry Fragile are Roundabout and South Side of the Sky. We Have Heaven is good, but it's almost not supposed to be a standalone song as much as it is a frame for the songs it surrounds.
But songs like Heart of the Sunrise are really only going to be appreciated by people who like complex, unstructured things. It's also definitely a song that's probably there as much because it's fun for the musicians to play as it is for the listeners to listen to. In fact, I think a lot of prog is like that - music for the benefit of the musicians as much as it is for the listeners, if not moreso.
