The intricate connection between the lives, deaths, and creative works of renowned musicians is intricately intertwined with their personal medical histories. In Famous Composers – Diseases Reloaded, these case histories are vividly reconstructed based on authentic biographical testimonies, closely intertwined with the personalities of the musicians themselves. The latest research findings on the pathophysiology of these composers will be woven into the overarching narrative.
Was Paganini's devilishness a result of a hereditary disease? Did Scarlatti exhibit peculiar symptoms on his fingers? What caused Bach's demise? How did Christel, from a questionable background, transform Schumann's life? What exacerbated Ravel's underlying illness, leading to his inability to complete a single composition in the last five years before his death? How did Tárrega regain the ability to play the guitar after suffering a stroke with hemiplegia? Did Villa-Lobos's worldwide reputation contribute to his longevity, thanks to the best available treatment at the time?
Physician and musician Andreas Otte has incorporated the latest medical history research into the composers' pathographies. This book offers an exciting and well-balanced reading experience for physicians, music enthusiasts, musicologists, and musicians alike, as well as for all readers seeking to gain a fundamental understanding of the pathophysiology and life scores of these great masters in the context of modern conditions.
