  • Sample  At a young age, Wilhelm Richard Wagner came under the spell of Weber’s opera, Der Freischutz, and copied the entire score to memorize. He was profoundly influenced by a Beethoven symphony, heard for the first time in Leipzig. The mighty music thundered in his mind as he walked from the concert hall, and he determined, then and there, to become a great composer. Richard Wagner is an amazing example in music history—one of the few composers of stature who learned his art from the untutored study of the masterpieces of his day.

  • Sample Chopin returned to Vienna to find only a cool welcome awaiting him. Vienna wanted to dance and sing and forget war...and Poland was on the brink of war. In Paris, however, Chopin found himself warmly welcomed; his concerts became the vogue; his days were crowded with both gaiety and the work he loved. Years passed and the world hailed his greatest compositions. Then ill health began making inroads on his time and at the peak of his career, the great composer and pianist died in Paris.
