Rach went into a DEEP depression after that and a few other flops. Darn near suicidal (the guy was already, naturally one big Russian bundle of kill-joy) he then went to see an experimental hypnotic therapist. Evidently, it payed off because he woke up from his sessions and wrote his second symphony and his second concerto, both of course, enormous successes. The Second Piano Concerto is dedicated to that hypnotherapist. Fun music trivia... An interesting progression to that Rach story… Rach went into a DEEP depression after that and a few other flops.
