Between the writer George Sand (1804-1876) and the pianist Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849), was love mutual?
Of their affair, which began in 1838, only seventeen letters remain in which we do not find a single word of love.
In 1846, when the rupture is announced between the two lovers, George Sand writes “For seven years I have lived like a virgin with him and all the others”.
150 years later, the Swiss journalist Moritz Weber makes revelations: after having combed through Chopin's letters, he would have discovered a flood of declarations of love addressed ... to men.
Would History have eluded the homosexual attractions of the Polish composer?
