Juliet came from the province and started taking lessons from Beethoven. He did not charge for this. The girl gave him his own embroidered shirts. The composer dedicated to her "Moonlight Sonata" and has already started thinking about marriage. But the beauty is keen on Count Wenzel Gallenberg. He considered himself a composer, and in fact stole melodies into other musicians.

Beethoven's bride wrote a farewell letter: “I am leaving from one genius who won, to another, who is still fighting for recognition. I want to be his guardian angel. ” After 20 years, Juliet will ask the composer for money. He will refuse.

He offered his hand and heart to a middle-aged Beethoven and to a young singer Magdalene Vilman, but she called him ugly and half-crazy. Tender friendship associated Ludwig with student Teresa Brunsvik. After the composer's death, he found his Letters to an Immortal Lover. The addressee is not specified, but Teresa is considered to be that beloved.
