This is a story of love, and romance between Mendelssohn and the fiery Italian prima donna, Maria Salla, and for Cecile Jeanrenaud, his wife and one of the most beautiful women in Europe. It is also a story of a different type of love - which became a dedication - his love for his great predecessor, Johann Sebastian Bach, and his right to restore that music to its rightful place in the world.
