Nelida is a story about a beautiful, fragile woman that is based on Marie d'Agoult. When Nelida is young, she is fascinated by a man named Gummerman, who is based on Franz Liszt. Gummerman believes that art is a religion and he is passionate about it. When Nelida grows up, she meets Gummerman again. Gummerman is now a handsome young man who is driven by his passions. Nelida falls for him and they have a passionate kiss. Nelida then finds out that Gummerman is living with another woman. Depressed, Nelida marries whom she was engaged to, Timoleon, only to find out he bedded an Italian marquise. Seeing how heart broken Nelida is, Gummerman lives with her and falls in love with her. They go to different countries to perform. However, Gummerman seeks fame rather than art and in doing so, beds the Italian marquise. Nelida then breaks up with him. Realizing he failed, he dies in pity. Only then does Nelida come back to him.
