Music is a prime example where many composers were not appreciated and whose personality  was rejected by them, who made them victims as outcasts. Hence the story of Gustav Mahler, notable conductor especially in the world of opera and a composer of formidable talent.  It has been said that the music of Mahler is a “nut hard de crack”, his Symphonies are truly long and it is not possible to penetrate in the profound psychological meaning of his vocal legacy.
