One of the most hotly debated topics in the world of music is the female referred to in Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” letter, penned 6-7th July, 1812. He never put in an addressee; so we are left to speculate on quite a number of more suitable and less suitable candidates. I’m going to cover what are considered the main contenders and offer the proof that says there is really only one primary contender. I’m not the first to reach this conclusion and indeed a majority of researchers and writers agree with me. However, you’re going to be surprised when I unveil my irrefutable evidence.
At the conclusion, I’m going to link all of Beethoven’s life to my “Life Cycles Theory” and show you detailed evidence of how it works throughout an entire lifetime. Before this, I’m going to present my views on what happened in his all-important age 36 “Year of Revolution”, which is the centrepiece of my theory. You're going to see how it coincided with writing the four most famous notes in all of classical music and how it relates to the private life of the world’s most famous composer.
So, sit back and enjoy a brief look into the psycho-biography of this complex genius. As a musician and psychologist myself, I’ve been more than a little interested in this unusual journey I took.
