Sometimes, it takes years, decades even, before a piece is recognized . Is this the fault of the critic? The audience? Or both? Is it just down to personal taste/opinion, or just that a particular piece does not do what the critic or audience expects it to do?

Anything really outstanding will eventually be more understood and appreciated. It’s the old cliche of ” the test of time”- great music will be timeless, and live on through the centuries, just like the best art and literature…….
