'If there's no sincerity in her feelings, then the final chord of my whole life has sounded!' From an early age, Weber loved women - even at 16, he was dedicating compositions to the fair sex of Hamburg. After numerous affairs, he settled down with soprano Caroline Brandt - one of two lasting relationships in his life. The other was with his friend, the clarinettist Heinrich Baermann, for whom Weber wrote some of his most popular music.
