I'm a composer too, but my music is avant-garde and I received
criticisms because is avant-garde.  My opinion is:  my work is to compose,
the critic's job is to analyse.  If the criticism is seriously right or
wrong, I read the critic, I respect it, I profit some ideas, I ignore
anothers, but I continue with my style.
