Ludwig van Beethoven's life story is that of a radical individualist in uncertain times. The music–effective and profound, quirky and poetic, sensual and philosophical, and constantly in search of the new–plays a leading role here.

Polish by birth, Fryderyk Chopin made his name in post-Revolutionary Paris and is often depicted as the archetypal Romantic artist–blessed with extraordinary talent but consumed by the flame of genius, tormented by intense and tempestuous relationships and doomed to an early death.

What were his influences? How did he end up in jail and what did he get up to in Café Zimmerman?

Belleza, sabiduría, inteligencia, simpatía, sensibilidad. De todo eso estuvo llena esta mujer extraordinaria y todo eso, y mucho más, regaló al mundo porque era tanto lo que en ella habitaba, que después de cantar o de hablar o de simplemente vivir, iba dejándole a los otros las puertas abiertas para que cada cual encontrara las verdades que le correspondían.
