Kobbé immerses into the love lives of seven great composers and gives us some interesting
details about the relationships between Mozart and his wife Constance Beethoven and Therese
Brunswick Felix and Cécile Mendelssohn Chopin and the Countess Delphine Potocka Robert and
Clara Schumann Franz Liszt and his Caroline and Richard and Cosima Wagner. His descriptions
are as informative as entertaining and will inspire cultural historians music critics and
romatics in equal measure. Reprint of the original edition from 1905 with various
illustrations.
