well, I'm glad some people can take a second look and find something there the second time that they hadn't noticed the first time.
however, there's not much one can do about personal taste. it's exactly that - personal. So if some people don't care for this piece, so be it.
At least I feel I am in good company: I read on this forum someone say that Sibelius was a second rate composer who would be soon forgotten.
It's the same with all music, in the end. I keep reading people exclaim how wonderful such and such a score by Hans Zimmer is. And anyone who knows me knows I hold his music in the LOWEST regard possible. But that's my taste. Thankfully, Mr. Zimmer has his audience. The lesson here is that I guess my audience isn't on this forum, at least, not for this particular piece.
While I love all my musical children dearly, I think my clarinet sonata is a much stronger work than the cello sonata. I guess only time will tell.
Everyone loves Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto, and 2nd Symphony (I think that's the one at least)... yet I always marvel at how few people know or appreciate his true masterpiece: The Symphonic Dances.
I guess I won't be sending Manossg tickets to the premiere of the sonata then.
