I am reminded of something one of my teachers once suggested. Her idea was
to place a ban on the music of Beethoven for some unspecified time period.
It would give everyone an opportunity to explore repertoire and after the
end of the ban, we might have a different perspective on Beethoven's music.
Obviously one could add Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, et al to the
equation.
