And Ravel disliked Bolero. (He is reported to have said something like:
"It's the most most popular piece I've written. Too bad there isn't any
music in it.")
On the other hand, dissatisfaction can mean incentive to move onward
towards goals.
I do understand Ravel's sentiment, however, as some people seem to get
most enthusiastic about music I'd wished I'd never written. :-)
