Your point, "The OP seems to ask whether there is a litmus-test piece of western music that will decide if a newbie will become a classical fan" is dead-on right. THAT was the question.The follow-up by markrohr which you said was "exactly right" stated, "My gist was that your question assumes that the hypothetical "uninitiated listener" is a Westerner". The OP made no such assumption.
The assumption was about the music, not the listener. That said, I can't even understand that the answer could be "no" under any circumstances. Although the "exact work" that might convince someone (serve as a litmus test) is subject to opinion, by definition "some composition MUST WORK" for an appreciation to exist.
You state, "As a newbie I would have failed all the tests mentioned in this thread." That statement can only be true if you are 100 not a fan of the "Western classics". If you are, SOMETHING convinced you, right? THAT is what the OP is looking for.
