Στα μουσικά πράγματα της χώρας κυριαρχούσαν άνθρωποι συντηρητικών αντιλήψεων, που σχετίζονταν με τη λεγόμενη «Εθνική Σχολή» και δεν μπορούσαν ή δεν ήθελαν να κατανοήσουν τις νέες μουσικές προτάσεις του Σκαλκώτα. Ισχυρίζονταν ότι έγραφε ακαταλαβίστικη μουσική, που ήταν αντίθετη με τους κανόνες που διδάσκονταν στα ωδεία και διέδιδαν πως ήταν ήταν τρελός! Ο μουσικολόγος και βιογράφος του Σκαλκώτα Γ. Γ. Παπαϊωάννου αποκαλεί τη συμπεριφορά τους απέναντι στον Σκαλκώτα «μεγάλη συμπαιγνία» και πιστεύει ότι το πληθωρικό του ταλέντο θα τους επισκίαζε και θα τους εξοστράκιζε από τις «καρέκλες» τους.
