In 1812, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote three letters to an unnamed
woman, whom he called "Immortal Beloved." The letters were
discovered after Beethoven's death and ever since their discovery,
there has been speculation regarding whom that Immortal Beloved
might have been. In Beethoven's Immortal Beloved: Solving the
Mystery, Edward Walden carefully and meticulously presents his case
that the woman who Beethoven loved was Bettina Brentano, an
artistic and talented musician in her own right. Setting the
foundation for his argument, Walden begins the book with a general
historical and sequential narrative that interweaves the lives of
the three principle protagonists: Beethoven, the writer Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe, and Bettina Brentano. Walden explores in
detail the key elements of the factual narrative and shows how
those elements support his claim that Bettina was the Immortal
Beloved. In addition, Walden addresses the attacks other Beethoven
scholars have made against Bettina and reveals how such attacks
were mistaken or unjustified. Thoroughly and rigorously researched,
yet presented in a clear and engaging style, Beethoven's Immortal
Beloved will appeal to Beethoven scholars, music lovers, and
general readers alike, who will be captivated by the solving of
this fascinating mystery.
