Summary
Franz Liszt, Europe’s glittering piano sensation, dazzling crowds with his flair and his ego to match. Frédéric Chopin, quiet and brooding, a portrait of ice and restrained elegance who would rather let his nocturnes speak for themselves.
A challenge is born from indifference, drawing two of Europe's greatest pianists into a tense duel of wit and artistry. A rivalry steeped in brilliance, admiration, and the kind of longing that lingers long after the music fades.

Summary
Hans was very drunk. They had sat together, side by side by the fire. The young lordling was near dosing; his eyes shuttered at half-mast. His gilded lashes were very long, and cast shadows upon the panes of his high cheeks.
Pretty. He was very pretty. The thought was upon Henry before he could outrun it. The other lad was very drunk, and his eyes were glazed and unseeing. Unchecked, Henry was left to look his fill. And, furthermore, he found himself much too sotted to care, let alone chastise himself for the impropriety.
Hans confided, that he had once fancied himself in love with a bathhouse whore. Her name had been Klara. He had brought her flowers. She had preferred some other fellow though, and now she would not entertain him. He wasn't sad about it, though.
And then, the young nobleman had said the queerest thing. So queer, that Henry had turned his words, over and over in his head since laying down upon his bedroll.
