The author of the article is making a lame attempt at examining Brahms in light of Dogen, the ancient Japanese philosopher and Buddhist monk whose writings pre-sage the more modern concepts of anti-realism and what is termed "nothingness" -- essentially negating the actual existence of Brahms as a person and individual. I'll side with the "sketchy bullshit" of that effort as called out by others in this thread.
"Woke" is more a social and cultural concept aimed at rejecting traditional historical assumptions and biases. Yes, classical music is under attack as a result, but this is not that.
I admire your spirit, though!:-)
