Rafn, I guess it depends to what music you normally listen to.
My music is obviously not aimed at people who only listen to baroque music, or only Celine Dion songs, and likewise it's not aimed at an audience that require the most avant-garde techniques and gestures availbale to a musician.
Whether you "grasp" the material depends on your own musical experience. I have no illusions that my music will please everyone. I know it's "not modern enough" for the new music crowd. And I also know it's a bit more difficult to understand for anyone with no experience in 20th century music.
As for listening to only the 1st and last parts... well, you're missing 1/3 of the piece. It's MEANT to be listened to as a whole, not as separate movements. Each movement needs the subsequant movements for its completion. The work is designed that way.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
