Osobnosti diktátorů očima lékaře. Vliv subjektivních osobnostních rysů na objektivní dopad rozhodnutí a činů historických osobností. Tato kniha je pokusem podrobit lékařské analýze nebývalý vzestup a žalostný konec tří historických postav, které ovlivnily běh světových dějin.
These books describe the interplay between inspiration and illness in the lives of the great composers of the 18th and 19th centuries
Historical reference on the life, work, and medical history of German composers. Translation of Musik und Medizin. Third part of the trilogy.
In this second volume of the 3-volume Music & Medicine series, Neumayr investigates the lives, music, and medical histories of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Carl Maria von Weber, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and Anton Bruckner. Neumayr, a world-recognized physician and scientist, presents biographies of these master composers, with special attention to their illnesses and diagnostic interpretations. With great acumen, he scrutinizes the sources and the statements of contemporaries, gathering memories and facts, studying theories on their deaths. In many cases, he contradicts with expert competence his medical colleagues who died long ago, for although he has consulted letters and documents contemporary to the musicians themselves, his diagnoses are based on the medical knowledge of the present day, knowledge not available to the doctors of those days.
