I like to see the look of struggle,
You know the story the Stravinsky deliberately set the opening bassoon solo of the Rite of Spring across the bridge to make it hard to play? He wanted the player's struggle to be heard, to represent the struggle of a new plant pushing out of the soil.
Apparently he was upset that technical skills have improved so much that most decent bassoonists can knock it out as a party trick.
The other amusing anecdote is that the dancers hated Nijinsky's choreography. However
"When on his return Diaghilev enquired about Le Sacre and learnt of its enormous unpopularity, he merely remarked that it was an excellent sign. It proved the composition to be strikingly original."
It don't work that way these days :-)
