Music of course! I also like to travel and spend time with Carolyne.
Chopin, Beethoven, Berlioz, Paganini. Even though I've already met them, I wouldn't mind meeting them again. :-) Their music is truly amazing.
Classical music is my all-time favorite. I really admire the sonatas of Beethoven. I used to always perform them while touring.
Any writings by Heine, Goethe, and Hugo. I especially love to compose songs to these writings.
Any musical composer who has progressed music forward! I really admire Beethoven, Berlioz, Chopin, Wagner, and Paganini. My children, Blandine, Cosima, and Daniel have also greatly inspired me throughout my lifetime.
