In an intentionally light-hearted style, Fritz Spiegl has
researched the lives and loves of the great composers through the
ages. In an alphabetically arranged panorama of biographical
portraits, he humorously uncovers hitherto unknown aspects of the
composers' personalities that are, at best, discreetly ignored by
serious musical analysts or, at worst, have never made the history
books at all. He also includes some of the female composers, such
as Augusta Holmes and Maria Szymanowska, who are only just becoming
appreciated for their contributions to music. Fritz Spiegl's
treatment and disclosures, however, are not just idle gossip. His
concise use of biographical details gives a clear picture of each
composer's musical career, revealing how his emotional life came to
influence his music and, in some cases, vice versa. This volume alo
features a special section which contains Spiegl's extensive
researches into some of the pets of the great composers.
