robert schumann: emo piano critic
frederic chopin: the paganini of piano who got turned on by female voices apparently
franz liszt: ego ego ego ego and warts
felix mendelssohn: jewish german dude–fun combo
richard wagner: God according to himself and hitler
johannes brahms: testy guy who wrote “beethoven’s 10th” (CLARAAA!!!!)
