Classical Works Disliked by Their Composers
Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture
Tchaikovsky actually hated this iconic overture, declaring that it “was written without any feeling of love and would therefore probably have little artistic merit”.
Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1
Despite its great success, Elgar came to dislike the piece (now known as 'Land of Hope and Glory') when he realised that it overshadowed all his other works.
Saint-Saëns: The Carnival of the Animals
The composer feared that this humorous zoological fantasy would damage his reputation, so he allowed limited performances of it. The suite was only published after his death.
Music: Saint-Saëns
The Carnival of the Animals, The Swan
