  That might have been more of a response to the choreography than the music. Earlier in 1913, a performance of Schoenberg's work turned into a riot during the 'Skandalkonzert' in Vienna. Even that, however, may not have been so much about the music as the composer, who apparently behaved haughtily at a previous concert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skandalkonzert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skandalkonzert
