She's going to break your heart in two, it's true

Alma Mahler-Werfel inspired from "Mahler, Alma, 1879-1964 : ca. 1899"
"She's going to break your heart in two, it's true" is taken from the lyrics of "Femme Fatale" from the album "Duran Duran : The Wedding Album

" was premiered at Wiener Staatsoper in 1900 conducted by Gustav Mahler.
Alma married Gustav Mahler in 1900. They got two daughters. In 1907 Maria Anna, the elder daughter died at five years old. "Kindertotenlieder
" composed by Gustav Mahler premiered in 1905.

After Gustav Mahler's death in 1911, Alma had a tumultuous affair with Oskar Kokoschka. He created many works ("Die Windsbraut" etc.) inspired by her.

In 1915, Alma married Walter Gropius. He created Fagus-Werk, one of the seminal modernist buildings in 1911, the year when Gustav Mahler died.
Alma and Walter Gropius got their daughter, Manon in 1917. When Manon died in 1935 at her 18 years old, Alban Berg dedicated his "Violinkonzert
