Welcome back to another episode of Classical Gossip! Today, we’re spilling the tea on Ludwig van Beethoven and his secret love letters.

Beethoven, the maestro behind the famous symphonies, had a soft side too. He penned some pretty passionate love letters to his 'Immortal Beloved.' But who was she? The mystery remains unsolved, but his letters reveal a romantic side that might surprise you. Let's read an excerpt.

“My angel, my very self… Why this profound sorrow, when necessity speaks — can our love endure without sacrifices, without our demanding everything from one another; can you alter the fact that you are not wholly mine, that I am not wholly yours?”

Beethoven’s music isn’t just powerful; it’s full of passion!
