Beethoven's World: Immortal Beloved

A series of four concerts each presenting a particular aspect of Beethoven’s life and character.

In the final concert of the Beethoven's World series, ANAM musicians delve into Beethoven's heart and his yearning for an intimate connection. This longing, poignantly captured in his 1812 letter to the mysterious 'Immortal Beloved', reflects a love that remained unfulfilled, likely aimed at the unattainable Antonie Brentano.

This concert features Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in E major, dedicated to Antonie’s daughter, Maximiliane. Its tender first movement flows between shy hesitance and passionate expression, resembling a love letter without words.

We conclude with his song cycle, An die Ferne Geliebte (To the Distant Beloved), where a heartbroken lover confronts the reality of unfulfilled dreams. Could this be Beethoven's final farewell to Antonie and his hopes for a soulmate? While the truth may remain elusive, the profound depth of his emotions resonates powerfully through his music.
