How the public will react to you work is something that as an artist

you don't have any control over, that's part of the game. Some now

famous works in the classical area were complete failures when first

presented.
Also history can play strange games. Bach's Passions were forgotten

for a century until Mendelssohn 'rediscovered' them. Most of 'early'

music (start of 17th century and before) was almost ignored until

the revival movement that started in the second half of the 20th

century,
