His work was liked and well-received, but he was somewhat conservative and didn't take many chances in his pieces, causing some to say that his music is boring and conservative. Dmitri Shostakovich, on the other hand, was a highly inventive and experimental Russian composer. As a result of his uniqueness, his work was not as well-received as Schumann's and others'. At least, that's the point Bukowski is trying to make: Schumann is "safe" while Shostakovitch is different and maybe even weird (so Bukowski prefers him). However, It's perfectly fine to like Schumann, Shostakovich, both, or neither. Bukowski has his own opinions, and we can certainly have ours.
