Newbee,
Actually, Rachmaninoff became so depressed after the first performance of the First Symphony because of adverse criticism, he stopped composing for a while and never returned to it. It’s the First Concerto that he revised later on in life.
The Symphonic Dances are indeed a departure from his usual style.
