“A moving and inspirational tour de force!Affecting, beautifully written, it drives home the intimate horrors and ironies and the difficulty of living with the knowledge of suffering.Compelling, it takes you on a fulfilling and engaging journey.”?(The Classical Musicologist)That Beethoven's famous Letter to the "Immortal Beloved" was to Josephine Brunsvik, his one and only Beloved, is now a fact, so obvious that one wonders why – especially in America – the truth had been veiled behind so much fantastic speculation and even denunciation.Marie-Elisabeth Tellenbach, musician, musicologist, historian and a Beethoven scholar of international repute, not only clears aside all this debris, but, based on many years of meticulous research, shows that Beethoven's love of Josephine was not only reflected in his letters and diary, but left traces in his music that speak in notes what words cannot express.With explanations, annotations and amendments by the translator, John E Klapproth (author of "Beethoven's Only Beloved: Josephine!").

A thoughtful and comprehensive weighing up of all the arguments presented by his friend Solomon in favor of Antonie Brentano, followed by a detailed presentation of and then a synoptic comparison with the evidence supporting Josephine Brunsvik. The latter the clear winner. Harry Goldschmidt, Beethoven scholar of international repute, made the hunt for the Immortal Beloved to the focus of an unorthodox and precisely drawn Beethoven portrait. His sovereign style is based on many years of meticulous research. With annotations and amendments by translator John E Klapproth

La Mara assumed first that Therese Brunsvik was (secretly) Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved," based mainly on second-guessing by some of the later descendants of the Brunsvik family whom she had interviewed. The major value of La Mara's first book is in publishing of Therese's Memoirs - a very lively and readable account, not only of her own (long and reasonably happy) life, but also of her sister Josephine's (short and unhappy) life. And, of course, her never-ending adoration of Beethoven. In 1920, after discovering various letters and many other documents (at least what was accessible in the aftermath of the First World War), she corrected her previous view and was now convinced that Josephine was the One. La Mara was the first to get it right.

The day after Beethoven’s death on March 26, 1827, his friends found, in a secret drawer of his desk, together with his will and two miniature portraits of two young women, a ten-page letter dated “July 6 in the morning,” that began with the intriguing incantation “My angel, my all, myself.” It included no address and no name of the addressee, except for the now famous my immortal beloved hyperbole, containing passionate declarations of love and was signed, “L., forever yours, forever mine, forever us.” Thus was born a biographical mystery of the artistic canon of the Western World, second only in tantalizing appeal to the identity of the person signing as William Shakespeare. Two hundred years later, biographers still have not come to a consensus on the mystery. Of the many candidates advanced in the meantime, only a few have survived in biographical literature. Stefan Romanó’s book brings the controversy to a close. It clarifies the existing evidence that has often been muddled, and at times reached the absurd, during almost two centuries of scholarly speculations. He also adds some new insights into the analysis of the evidence, thus making it easier for readers to draw their own conclusions, hopefully not different from his, namely, that only one of the candidates proposed so far fits the evidence. He also provides a substantially modified scenario from the one advanced by her proponents. Born in Romania during WWII and immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1989, Stefan Romanó is not a musician nor a musicologist. He is an engineer by formation, a man of exactitude and clear and logical thinking, qualities that served him thoroughly when he became an amateur Beethoven scholar. A long-time member of American Beethoven Society and of its French counterpart, Association Beethoven France et Francophonie, he has published in their professional journals, bringing valuable contributions to understanding Beethoven’s life and creation. His “Ending the Fifth” article answered a question that had puzzled musicians, scholars and music lovers alike for two hundred years: why does Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony end with that apparently interminable series of C major chords? He took up the pen by force of circumstance for his Beethoven’s Immortal Beloved when he realized that all the proposed solutions to the mystery relied on wild speculation and sometimes even falsifying the existing evidence.

Sunday Times Classical Music Book of the Year 'Magisterial, warm, and engaging . . . A triumph of scholarship and musical affinity . . . Jan Swafford is to be saluted.' Independent Jan Swafford's biographies of composers Charles Ives and Johannes Brahms have established him as a revered music historian, capable of bringing his subjects vibrantly to life. His magnificent new biography of Ludwig van Beethoven peels away layers of legend to get to the living, breathing human being who composed some of the world's most iconic music. Swafford mines sources never before used in English-language biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenment-era Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, capital of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and 'fate's hammer', his ever-encroaching deafness. At the time of his death he was so widely celebrated that over ten thousand people attended his funeral. This book is a biography of Beethoven the man and musician, not the myth, and throughout, Swafford - himself a composer - offers insightful readings of Beethoven's key works. More than a decade in the making, this will be the standard Beethoven biography for years to come.
