Example: Francisco Coll (*1985): Four Iberian Miniatures for violin and chamber orchestra (2014)
With the four Iberian miniatures for violin and chamber orchestra, the then 29-year-old Spanish composer Francisco Coll, a student of Thomas Adès in London, has succeeded in creating a violin piece that deconstructively fits into the Spanish-influenced violin literature from Sarasate to Ravel's Tzigane. Yet for all the artistry of the composition and all the hidden tragedy of life, Coll is not entirely without a compositional grin.
"I compose music that I would like to hear myself in the concert hall." The 4 miniatures are a Spanish bravura piece in the guise of current contemporary music. They are an excellent advertisement for listening to contemporary compositions.

So this is just a clickbait thread to get people to check out this young Spanish composer?
Why not just create a composer thread for Francisco Coll? There would probably be less interest, but at least it would be honest.
It depends on what you listen for ;)

What about "you must not be boring"?
Music is generally only difficult to listen to if you don't know how to listen to it, or if you want it to be something other than what it is.
