There are a few modern works I find difficulty listening to but that could be due to unfamiliarity so it would be unfair to list them. BUT my pet hate is Ravel's "Bolero". To me it is repetitive, irritating and boring music. Sort of a bit like quite a lot (but not all) of modern rock music which I studiously avoid. Any works in your list? John What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences. |

"Despise" is the wrong word. More like, "heard or played too often". |
