You cite Heidenroeslein, Die Forelle, Das Vielchen as examples to support
the "all music is about sex". Those "love and nature" songs are pretty
obvious and easy examples to use. I'd like to challenge you to find the
"sex" in the following:

J.S. Bach: St Matthew Passion

Gustav Mahler: Kindertotenlieder

Rouget de Lisle: La Marseillaise

John Adams: The Death of Klinghoffer

Anything written by John Tavener.
