Def Leppard - Now

In the summer of 1887, Strauss spent several days vacationing in Feldafing, a resort town about an hour's drive from Munich, where Pschory had a villa. On the contrary, the family of General Ana lived. It was a cultural and wealthy offspring of an ancient and noble family. He loved music, had a good baritone, was a fan of Wagner and loved to perform, albeit purely amateurish, Wolfram's song “The Evening Star”. The general had two daughters, the eldest of whom, Paulina, inherited musical talent from her father, had an excellent soprano and was a graduate of the Munich Conservatory. She was a beautiful girl with a good figure, complexion of light honey hue and a shock of unusually thick brown hair. She combed them upstairs, thereby increasing her already tall stature. The elongated face was somewhat horse-like, but lit by a smile,looked really beautiful. She was aware of her beauty, held herself confidently and was proud of her origin. She was musical by nature, but not too smart and educated. Paulina was two years older than Strauss. When they met, Strauss was twenty-three, and she was twenty-five. Strauss fell in love with her. It was his first serious love and, as it turned out, the last.
