Stressing a quality of an object in comparisons

Stressing a quality of an object in comparisons

If I am not wrong, stressing a quality of an object right before the object is permissible in English with the word "quite":

He is quite naughty a boy.

She is quite beautiful a girl.

It is quite difficult a task.

If I am right here, would it also be okay in English to do the same while comparing an object to another one on the point of that quality that is being stressed?

The release of the album was quite more important an event than the Grammy award giving that came half a year later and was merely a logical response to that event.

In the example above, the first object is "event", second object is "the Grammy award giving", the quality being stressed is importance (expressed by the adjective "important")



Top Answer/Comment:

He is quite a naughty boy. [no comparison, just an intensifier, adverbial] She is quite a beautiful girl. It is quite a difficult task. Note the order of the words.

The release of the album was a much more important event than the Grammy award event....

Grammy award giving would be wrong above.

That's the comparative.
