A curious item was found among Beethoven’s effects,
locked away in a drawer, at the time of his death: three
letters, written but apparently never sent (they may have
been sent but returned to him), to the “Immortal Beloved.”
The content, which varies from high-flown
poetic sentiments to banal complaints about his health and
discomfort, makes it clear that this is no literary exercise but
was intended for a real person. The month and day of the
week are given, but not the year. The periods 1801–02,
1806–07, and 1811–12 have been proposed, but the last is
the most probable. The most cogent arguments regarding
the identity of the person addressed, those by Maynard
Solomon, point to Antonie Brentano, a native Viennese,
who was the wife of a Frankfurt merchant and sister-in-law
to Beethoven familiar Bettina Brentano.
