"Masterpiece" is pushing it. The section is entirely banal, with little imagination beyond plan extrusion. When you think of the possibilities of the site, the client, and the conceptual domain (math, music), it is more of a missed opportunity.

Well I wanted to sensationalize it because the story has been missed here before with the given headline and it is pretty cool both as a house and because it was commissioned by someone famous for being a calculus professor. How often does that happen? Editor can change the headline as desired.
