He suspected correctly that the public would not accept the music he wrote. Even the few conductor and performers he tried to interest in his compositions felt that they were unplayable. Instead, he became a successful insurance executive, building his company into the largest agency in the country in only two decades. Even during that busy time, he still dedicated himself to composing music in the evenings, on weekends, and during vacations. Although he occasionally hired musicians to play one of his works privately for him. He usually heard his music only in his imagination.

After he recovered from a serious heart attack, he became reconciled to the fact that his ideas, especially the use of dissonance and special effects, were just too different for musical mainstream. Determined to share his music with the few people who might appreciate it, he published his work privately and distributed it free.

In 1939, when lives was sixty-five, American pianist John Kirkpatrick played concorde sonata in town hall. The reviews were laudatory. One reviewer proclaimed it the greatest music composed by an American, by 1947, Ives was famous.

He was seventy-three.
