"But prior to recorded music, one might see or hear a piece once, only once in a lifetime. So how would one study a piece over and over again to understand its wonder?"Those who wanted to, or needed to, used one or two piano reductions.
"So, from my point of view, if a piece does not impact me the first time I must wonder if it is really worth anything to me. I do grant that modern ears must acclimate to stylistic differences caused by time. Because of this I am willing to be a little patient with myself and the music. But eventually, I either like it or leave it behind. As was said below, life really is too short."
You're right, but I can't tell you how many times I revisited a piece--at my own pace and perogative--and suddenly it made sense. Why? I don't know. I believe many or most at the premiere of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty didn't like it at all, and it seems pretty easy to "get" and enjoy to me. I hope that they gave it a try again someday. After years of revisiting, I've "left behind" Messian, Ives, and most Haydn. Oh, and how 'bout the reverse-- music that I liked the first time but don't like (I get bored with) now? Sadly, very sadly, Shostakovich is falling into that category.
