Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto

In one of the most famous reviews in this history of Western
Classical Music, Eduard Hanslick torched the Tchaikovsky Violin
Concerto, saying that the violin was "beaten black and blue."
This review wounded Tchaikovsky to his core, and he wasn't sure
if his concerto would ever see the light of day again. Luckily
for him, and for us, the piece continued to get performed, and it
is now one of THE most beloved pieces in the whole repertoire.
