   Episode 7 - Romantic Era

   Franz Schubert: “When I wished to sing of love, it turned to sorrow. And when I wished to sing of sorrow, it was transformed for me into love.” Robert Schumann: “To send light into the darkness of men’s hearts – such is the duty of the artist.” Franz Liszt: “Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.” Sources for this episode: Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewoAW-Zyuj8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewoAW-Zyuj8) Other Sources: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/periods-genres/romantic/#:~:text=Discover%20Music%20Home-,Romantic,inspiration%20from%20art%20and%20literature.

   Episode 6 - Mozart vs. Salieri Myth

   For those of you who know and don’t know, there is a conspiracy theory that Salieri killed Mozart by poisoning him with, perhaps using arsenic. Is that true? Or is it not? That’s the question that we will explore today!

   Episode 5 - Mozart

   At 1 am on December 5 he died suddenly and unexpectedly. His corpse was consecrated in a cheap coffin and brought to the St. Marx Cemetery outside Vienna without any funeral cortege. Only the undertaker kept him company as the corpse, covered in a linen cloth, was lowered into a simple grave with five other deceased. The exact spot remains unknown. A monument, erected many years after his death at St. Marx Cemetery, commemorates the great composer and musician.

   Episode 3 - Bach

   Today we will explore a life of an unusual person – someone who challenged the paradigms of his time, someone who spent 30 days in jail for quitting his job, someone who gave up comfortable living for his kids, someone who was forgotten for 100 years after his death.

   Episode 2 - Baroque Era

   This is when the belief that words are the only communication tools was no longer accepted. Music was in its very development and overtime proved to be just as effective as words and sentences.
