There are plenty of pieces that get overplayed from Greensleeves to Mozart's Turkish March, to Beethoven's Symphony no5, to Tchaikovsky's War of 1812 Overture, but people don't bat an eye because while non classical fans have heard those pieces they can't always name them and even if they can name them they probably don't know the composer. But really I think people just don't like it because of how mainstream it is and even the non classical 'plebeians' enjoy it. However I've found that many people seem to have disdain for it, or at least they seem tired of it. I don't mind spending 40ish minutes it takes (depending on which recording I'm listening to, some like to blitz out the faster parts) in fact I find it to be a great way to start the day and will shave, cook breakfast and get ready for the day all while blasting it on the stereo. Parts have been played in movies, commercials and other things and just about every talent show with a number of violinist will inevitably have the Presto from Summer make an appearance, that being said I for one still don't tire of it. One of my favorite pieces are the 4 violin concertos that make up the 4 seasons and these 4 pieces are probably some of the most well known works in and outside of classical spheres, even people that don't regularly listen to classical have at least heard parts of it even if they think it's just one long piece instead of 4. I love Vivaldi's works, really I love the Baroque period in general but anything Vivaldi, Bach, or Scarlatti and I can listen to it for hours upon hours and not feel the need to listen to anything else.
