Interest in Beethoven's great musical
genius Is SO overpowereds that very lit
tie Is written or discussed regarding his
general life aside from it. There was
naturally much romance in life that
was so mixed with all classes of high
society among the fair ones of which
he found great numbers OF devoted
worshipefs.
1t is said that Beethoven was con-
stantly IN love and, though his taste
was very promiseuous, yet 1t is proba-
BILE that most of his attachments. re-
turned or tolerated, we're for women of
rank Unlike poor Schubert. whose love
for the Countess Caroline Esterhazy
was so carefully concealed, Beethoven
made no secret of his attachments.
Many of them are perpetuated in the
dedications of his sonatas.
All his letters were addressed to those
he admired In the most endearing
terms lie addressed the Baroness Ert-
mann by her Christian name as "Liebe

Countess Erdody-whom he called his
confessor- "Iaiebe, liebe. ,liebe, liebe.
Grafin." About 40 years ago Alexander
Wheeler Thayer startled the musical
world by casting doubt upon the ae-
curacy of a romantic episode in the
life of Beethoven--that of his impend-
ing marriage with Gtnlietta Guicciardi,
who afterwards became the Countess
Gallenberg. Yet the fact that the story
has been SO long believed shows its alb
stract probability.
One thing is certain-that his ahr
taohments were all honoraBle and his
sentiment regarding welded love is
familiar: 20 God, let me at last find
her who Is destined to be mine and who
shall strengthen me in virtue"
