My favorite composer, I always seem to go for the underdogs.
His music is so beautiful and full of passion and rage.
This book is about him, what is little is known of him. He is mysterious to the world but I think I understand him.
He was not born into wealth, and he loved music more than his life, in those days if you did not have a sponsor to compose and play your pieces you became affilited with Church.
