The day after Beethoven’s death on March 26, 1827, his friends found, in a secret drawer of his desk, together with his will and two miniature portraits of two young women, a ten-page letter dated “July 6 in the morning,” that began with the intriguing incantation “My angel, my all, myself.”  It included no address and no name of the addressee, except for the now famous my immortal beloved hyperbole, containing passionate declarations of love and was signed, “L., forever yours, forever mine, forever us.”  Thus was born a biographical mystery of the artistic canon of the Western World, second only in tantalizing appeal to the identity of the person signing as William Shakespeare.

Two hundred years later, biographers still have not come to a consensus on the mystery.  Of the many candidates advanced in the meantime, only a few have survived in biographical literature.  Stefan Romanó’s book brings the controversy to a close.  It clarifies the existing evidence that has often been muddled, and at times reached the absurd, during almost two centuries of scholarly speculations. He also adds some new insights into the analysis of the evidence, thus making it easier for readers to draw their own conclusions, hopefully not different from his, namely, that only one of the candidates proposed so far fits the evidence. He also provides a substantially modified scenario from the one advanced by her proponents.

Born in Romania during WWII and immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1989, Stefan Romanó is not a musician nor a musicologist.  He is an engineer by formation, a man of exactitude and clear and logical thinking, qualities that served him thoroughly when he became an amateur Beethoven scholar. A long-time member of American Beethoven Society and of its French counterpart, Association Beethoven France et Francophonie, he has published in their professional journals, bringing valuable contributions to understanding Beethoven’s life and creation.  His “Ending the Fifth” article answered a question that had puzzled musicians, scholars and music lovers alike for two hundred years: why does Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony end with that apparently interminable series of C major chords? He took up the pen by force of circumstance for his Beethoven’s Immortal Beloved when he realized that all the proposed solutions to the mystery relied on wild speculation and sometimes even falsifying the existing evidence.

THIS is the BEST holder--who knew there were better ones?
Color: Black
THIS ONE IS PERFECT. This holder is the simplest design and works so well. You just slide the paper towels over the ring, use the ring to move from spot to spot, and the base edges are perfectly smooth. THIS was well thought-out. Bravo. I already sent back a couple of these paper towels holders--but this one is the right one! You wouldn't think that some of them would be constructed with sharp edges or would have no way to move the holder around, but many are not constructed poorly. One had such sharp edges on the base I knew I'd cut myself. So this one is the one for a safe, simple, elegant, easy use. We got ours in black to match our kitchen--perfect.

Easy, great function paper towel holder!
Color: Silver
This paper towel holder is the best I’ve ever had. Extremely easy to Put together - instructions are included but you really don’t need them - just screw the metal tube into the base. It’s heavy enough to hold the paper towels securely and ease to take individual sheets. I have one for quite some time now and just bought this one for my son and daughter-in-law. It comes well packaged and came quickly. Very stable, perfect size and easy to use!
