| Abstract | One of the most fascinating and most enigmatic of the 20th centuries composers, this tells of a brilliant, yet unhappy young man. It tells of his dangerous involvement in the occult and its disturbing and long-lasting effects, of his passionate loves and hates, of dramas of intrigue and mystery, all of which ended in a gas-filled flat in 1930. |
