What's so curious about it? If you think it's appealing, then I suggest
you give it another chance next year or so.  Sometimes (or quite often in
fact), I feel confused after hearing a piece by Liszt for the first time.
But like all good music (jazz, pop, whatever...), there is something which
makes you want to return to the music sooner or later.....
