More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Liszt discovered groupies a hundred years before Mick Jagger; It was adultery that consigned the amorous Amadeus to a pauper's grave and syphilis that left Schubert's symphony unfinished; Father of 20 legitimate children, Bach plainly did not use the rhythm method. Notoriously impulsive and eccentric, the great musical geniuses have always commanded our interest as figures of extreme behaviour and ideas. Their music embodies mankind's most romantic yearnings, but what is really understood of the men and the inspiration behind their works? In this new edition of Sex Lives of the Great Composers, Nigel Cawthorne explores the private lives of the most celebrated composers to reveal how their sexuality inspired and fired their prodigious musical creativity. From the rock stars of their day - Liszt and Chopin, to the tortured double life of homosexual Tchaikovsky, Sex Lives of the Great Composers leads its readers through the most intimate details of the musical world.
From the Author
The newest books in my Sex Lives series have a list of all the
personalities that appear the books, so you can play "International Daisy
Chain". This is a game invented, not by me, but by Truman Capote. Pick any
two people from the list and see how many lovers you need to daisy chain
between them. The player who joins them with the least lovers wins. Play it
at home or in bed - or why not try a game of "Strip Daisy Chain"?
