Liszt probably fell into a trap at least once in his lifetime, the possibility isn’t too far with him being a womanizer and all lol.
Berlioz might or might not have worn the dress he ordered for murder purposes and Wagner might have been a crossdresser as I have read, or idk he has some kind of kink w/ dresses ¯_(ツ)_/ ¯
Bonus:
OMG this is golden!!!! Thank you for making this hhhhhh- 💖💖💖💖💖💖
“He has been my guide in everything; every morning I would go to find him, he would play me a Beethoven sonata,”
“We would sing Gluck’s Armide,”
“Then he would show me around all the famous ruins which I confess did not impress me very much,”
“Mendelssohn is one of those pure souls such as are very rarely found; he believes with conviction in his Lutheran religion, and I would sometimes shock him deeply by making fun of the Bible,”
“I owe to him the only bearable moments I have enjoyed during my stay in Rome.”
Try and re-read his biography and put yourself in his shoes, see what you would do and what he did and try and find a compromise. Its like acting esentially 🙂
