True tales of murder, riots, heartbreak, and great music.With outrageous anecdotes about everyone from Gioachino Rossini (draftdodging womanizer) to Johann Sebastian Bach (jailbird) to Richard Wagner (alleged crossdresser), Secret Lives of Great Composers recounts the seamy, steamy, and gritty history behind the great masters of international music. Youll learn that Edward Elgar dabbled with explosives; that John Cage was obsessed with fungus; that Berlioz plotted murder; and that Giacomo Puccini stole his churchs organ pipes and sold them as scrap metal so he could buy cigarettes. This is one music history lesson youll never forget!

I just finished 'Secret Lives of Great Composers' and it was such an eye-opener! The stories behind Beethoven and Mozart were incredibly detailed and colorful. I loved how it shed light on aspects I never learned in school. Perfect for anyone who appreciates classical music like I do.

Interesting but Not Flawless
This book has some really cool anecdotes about famous composers, but I found a few parts dragging on a bit. The writing style is engaging, yet it could be more concise in places. If you're a music enthusiast, it's still worth a read, just be prepared for a few slower sections.

Disappointed in the Content
I expected 'Secret Lives of Great Composers' to have more depth based on the title. Unfortunately, it felt more like a collection of random facts than insightful stories. I was looking for richer narratives. Probably won't read it again, but it might be okay for someone just starting their journey in classical music.
