Secret Lives of Great Authors revealed the dirty secrets of
Hemingway, Kafka, and Tolstoy. Secret Lives of Great Artists
explored the bizarre behavior of Picasso, Matisse, and Monet. Now
you can discover the dirty laundry of Beethoven, Wagner, Puccini,
and others in Secret Lives of Great Composers an uncensored
biography of the world's greatest musical geniuses. You'll learn
that
Hector Berlioz hatched a plan to kill his ex-fiancee, her lover,
and her mother
Joseph Haydn had his head stolen by amateur phrenologists days
after being buried
Richard Wagner dressed in pink women's lingerie
Arnold Schoenberg suffered from a debilitating case of
triskaidekaphobia a fear of the number 13 And much more!
With outrageous stories ranging from the ridiculous (Mozart loved
fart jokes) to the even more ridiculous (the absentminded Mahler
frequently stirred his tea with cigarettes), Secret Lives of Great
Composers is a music lesson you'll never forget.
