I suppose the richness of the musical language is a hint, but it can only ever be a hint, for taste is measured by preference not someone's justification of a preference. The same seems to me to be true of visual art and literature: criticism here is fundamentally "manicular": one points to what is good and what is bad; the talk is more or less beside the point.
So perhaps the closest one could get is a multiple choice exam where one has to choose between sets of recordings of performances differing in ways that illustrate someone's musical sensibilities -- not just about content but also about reproduction. Perhaps it should be a "wall" one has to get through to ask a question on your forum...
