DESCRIPTION:
His love was neither reciprocated nor consummated and she seldom even responded to his epistolary bombardment, yet most of his greatest music is about her. His infatuation was immediate and continued at high convection until his death 11 years later. "He was 63 and had been unhappily married. The letters are wonderful."--The Washington Post Book World. She was 25 and apparently dully, indifferently married
