Swan Lake premiere engagement is often cited as a failure and Tchaikovsky blamed himself for it. Charles Reid characterized him as "an introspective young genius with a talent for psychological self-torture. … As was invariably his way, when anything went wrong, Tchaikovsky blamed himself." After hearing Delibes's contemporaneous Sylvia (notwithstanding its stale plot, in which the titular huntress's love for a shepherd is abetted by Eros), he dismissed his own score as trash and wrote: "If I had known this music earlier I wouldn't have written Swan Lake, for it is poor stuff compared to Sylvia," a judgment awfully hard to sustain nowadays. Indeed Tchaikovsky had so little self-confidence that he consented to write another ballet, Sleeping Beauty, only if he was promised exhaustive guidance in the form of minute details of the required numbers. As for Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky intended to rewrite the score but never did. As Charles Reid asserts: "Happily for posterity he never found the time to do this. One cannot imagine the music bettered."
