In the Key of 'D'anzmayr - Composer personalities

Well-known composers seem to most always be assigned certain traits.  Beethoven was unhappy and Mozart was something of a buffoon are common ones.  Some have called Wagner arrogant and Debussy a womanizer.  There is some truth in each of those statements, but they all over-simplify very complex people. How much do you need to know about  the personal life of composers before you try to interpret their music?  ProMusica Chamber Orchestra Music Director David Danzmayr and I discuss that in today's installment of In the Key of Danzmayr.
