I'm... really digging the sonata. I think you need to listen to it with fresh ears. I mean, I understand that it's not n the same tonal realm as mozart, but it's got more in common with Debussy or Mussorgsky than it does with Schoenberg or anything else fiercely atonal. maybe you should start asking yourself why you're phrasing things the way you are in the piece, what you like and don't like about that phrasing, and try to if not like the piece, then come to respect it. As to Khachaturian being a loner and a crackhead, he's not alone in being a damaged person in music. A person can have a shitty life, or be a shitty person (like Wagner) or be really crazy (Scriabin, Satie) and still create great works.
