Josephine Deym, Brief an Ludwig van Beethoven, Wien, vermutlich April 1806, Autograph, Konzept

Beethoven-Haus Bonn, Sammlung H. C. Bodmer, HCB BBr 84e

Josephine Deym probably justifies herself against jealous remarks made by the composer, which she considers out of place and hurtful. Between 1804 and 1807 Beethoven and Josephine Deym had an intimate friendship, at least Beethoven loved Josephine. She is one of the candidates for the "immortal beloved".
