Happy Valentine's Day! In celebration of the holiday, we're going to be diving deep into three real-life love stories of composers. The first one is a perfectly lovely, normal romance. The second one is a tragic love triangle. The third one is...well...more of a stalker situation than a love story. But it resulted in a musical masterpiece. This episode is filled with beautiful excerpts from songs that were inspired by these real-life romances.
