Wagner: Didn't he wear gloves to conduct the "Jewish" music of Mendelssohn?

Bruckner: Didn't he count things over and over, making sure he'd counted correctly? This suggests some sort of Asperger's or autism trait.

Brahms didn't he write lots of slickly put together contrapuntal music, totally lacking in spontaneity?
