Biography

Agnès worked as a political

spy and journalist. She was born on 19 October 1825 in Bremen, Germany.[3] She arrived in Weimar in 1853, as one of Peter Cornelius' pupils for harmony.[2] Shortly after she began having piano lessons with Franz Liszt, whom she befriended and had an affair with. They maintained a vast correspondence between the spring of 1855 and 1861, when he finally took up residence in Rome.[4]

Agnès gave birth to her first son named Ernst August Georg, known as Georges Street, on 21 January 1854. Her second child with her husband Captain Ernst Denis-Street was named Charles, born on 18 July 1855.[4] Her third child was named Fernande (16 December 1856 – 23 August 1857), daughter of the composer and revolutionary activist Ferdinand Lassalle. Henri, her illegitimate fourth child, was probably raised as a foster child by another family or died like his sister.[4]

She moved to Paris with Ernst and her two sons in February 1868. She died in the surroundings of Paris on 25 December 1906 at the age of 81.[4]
