I can understand this.  Because Mozart is seen as one of the greatest
composers of all times, it is somewhat courageous to claim that one
dislikes his music (but Bob Draper goes a little bit further and says that
Mozart's music is *not* as good as we used to be told).  But it is easy to
dislike a composer after limiting oneself to one opera.
