Anecdotes of characters

1. Liszt, who is always associated with women's names, takes Paganini as the "devil of violin" as the goal, studies hard, and finally ascends the throne of "king of piano". Natural beauty combined with elegant demeanor fascinates the female audience in particular. Liszt has been in love several times in his life, the most sensational is his love with Countess Mary Dagu and Princess Caroline SAIN Wittgenstein. What people talk about most is Liszt's decision to marry Caroline. Liszt, who fell in love with Caroline, was the wife of Wittgenstein, the German duchess of czar. This lady is eight years younger than Liszt. In 1847, at the age of 36, Liszt went to Russia to hold his solo concert. As a rule, he won applause and women's favor. As a rule, he held a charity performance to donate to local charities. In this benefit performance in Russia, someone bought a ticket at the price of 1000 rubles, which is 100 times of the ticket price of VIP seat. The news surprised Liszt. This is Mrs. Caroline. So they met. Liszt fell in love with her at first sight. Why? Just because I spent a lot of money to buy a ticket for the benefit show? Obviously it won't be that simple. Why would you rather be expelled from your country and deprived of all property by the Czar, go through all kinds of hardships, and marry Liszt to death? Liszt and Caroline's love has gone through twists and turns, until Liszt's 50th birthday, had been allowed by the Pope and Caroline married, but due to religious and czar reasons or not married. the long wait lasted until Liszt's old age, until 1886, when Liszt was 75 years old, and they still couldn't get married. This kind of suffering made Liszt convert to religion, smoothed and crushed this bone breaking pain in religion, but still did not give up Caroline. Less than half a year after Liszt's death, Caroline also died in Rome and died with Liszt. Liszt said, "all my joy comes from her. All my pain can always be found in her
