Beethoven

            Born in 1770, Beethoven showed a huge amount of talent at an early age. He was recognized by the local aristocracy and by his teachers as a well respected musician. In 1787, Beethoven had the opportunity to perform for Mozart, whom was greatly impressed with his talent. Unfortunately, in 1801, Beethoven had to deal with a tragic event, his deafness. This which became worse and Beethoven lost his hearing completely in 1817. From when he became deaf to his death in 1827, Beethoven led a life of composition and love. Beethoven, before he past away, wrote a letter to his "immortal beloved" which stated that " I could only live completely with you my immortal beloved ." Beethoven had also left his music and fortune to the one that he had loved. .
             Anton Schindler, Beethoven's secretary, discovered Beethoven's letter and the will he had wrote. Schindler, which whom respected Beethoven's work greatly, was dedicated to seed out this unknown lover of Beethoven. He visited many women who have been involved in Beethoven's life to discover his "immortal beloved.".
             Schindler made the first stop of his journey at the Swann Hotel in Karlsbad. Here he discovered that Beethoven was to meet a woman, the one that he had loved, but was grieved to find out that she had departed, leaving him shamed and alone. However, Schindler came across the woman's signature and used it to further his search for Beethoven's secret love. .
             Because the signature of the woman was unclear, Schindler was unable to make out the name. So, he visited the first of Beethoven's many lovers; Julia. She resided in Vienna and explained to Schindler the relationship her and Beethoven had; first Beethoven became her teacher and then he proposed to her. Regrettably, Beethoven was betrayed by Julia when she had spied on him while he was performing some of his most secret pieces of music. Schindler soon discovered that Julia was not Beethoven's "immortal beloved" and continued his search.
