Eccentrics
With Peggy Reynolds.
3: Hugo Wolf produced some of the most intense and expressive songs ever written. But this was achieved at the cost of mental stability.
Periods of intense creativity were followed by times of desolation and despair, exacerbated by the effects of syphilis acquired in the Viennese brothels.
