There are some very visible examples of classical musicians who get into some pretty silly situations in their personal life. In this video, which I’m entitling “The Bad Boys of Classical Music,” I’ve decided to focus on a couple infamous artist-musicians whose excellence in music doesn’t seem to carry over to their personal life!

These "bad boys of classical music," spanning centuries and two continents, are: Carlo Gesualdo, Niccolo Paganini, Richard Wagner, Claude Debussy and George Antheil. Enjoy!
