I know this is meant to be a very well respected piece but I can only get so far with it before I just become so irritated by the repetitiveness that I have to stop.

I’ve listened to it all now – to be honest, it “did my head in” quite a bit. I don’t think I’d go out of my way to listen to it again. Undoubtably it’s an artistic musical work of great merit but I think the components that make up the whole part are just too aggitating for me to enjoy the music. It’s worth a listen but for the most part I didn’t enjoy listening to it.
