Kobbe 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 Cecile 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.
