The character of Caroline is based on one of Liszt's pupils, Caroline de Saint-Circq, daughter of Charles X's Minister of Commerce, who disapproved of the relationship and ended it. Liszt was so upset at the breakup that he became physically to such an extent that he was hospitalized, and inaccurate reports of his death appeared in newspapers.
