Josephine Brunsvik
Josephine Brunsvik or Countess Jozefina Brunszvik de Korompa ((ハンガリー語:Brunszvik Jozefina); 28 March 177931 March 1821) was probably the most important woman in the life of Ludwig van Beethoven, as documented by at least 15 love letters he wrote her where he called her his “only beloved”, being “eternally devoted” to her and “forever faithful”. Several musicologists consider her to be the most likely recipient of the mysterious “Letter to the Immortal Beloved”.〔La Mara (1920), Kaznelson (1954), Riezler (1962), Massin (1970), Goldschmidt (1977), Tellenbach (1983, 1987), Beahrs (1986, 1988, 1993), Dahlhaus (1991), Pichler (1994), Steblin (2002, 2007, 2009).〕
==Early life and first marriage==
Josephine Countess von Brunsvik was born on 28 March 1779 in Preßburg (now Bratislava in Slovakia), then part of the Kingdom of Hungary. Her father Anton died in 1792, leaving his wife Anna (''née'' von Seeberg) with four young children; the other three were Therese (1775–1861), the first-born, Franz (1777–1849), the only son and sole heir, and Charlotte (1782–1843). The Brunsviks lived in a magnificent castle in Martonvásár near Budapest; the family also had a castle in Korompa (Dolna Krupa in Slovakia).
The children grew up enjoying an education by private teachers, studying languages and classic literature; all four turned out to be talented musicians: Franz became a distinguished violoncellist, the girls excelled at the piano – most of all, Josephine. They admired especially the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, who during the 1790s had established himself as a star pianist in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
In May 1799,〔Most of this account follows Therese’s Memoirs (in La Mara 1909) and Diaries (in Czeke 1938), and the biography by Tellenbach (1983).〕 Anna took Therese and Josephine to Vienna to ask Beethoven to give her daughters piano lessons. Beethoven later admitted that he had to suppress his love of Josephine,〔: "Oh beloved J., ... when I met you for the first time - I was determined not to let a spark of love germinate in me...” (o geliebte J., ... als ich zu ihnen kam – war ich in der festen Entschlossenheit, auch nicht einen Funken Liebe in mir keimen zu laßen... ) (Beethoven to Josephine, March/April 1805, in Schmidt-Görg 1957, p. 14.)〕 and she felt “enthusiastic” about him.〔"My soul was already enthusiastic for you even before I knew you personally – this was increased through your affection. A feeling deep in my soul, incapable of expression, made me love you. Even before I knew you, your Music made me enthusiastic for you. The goodness of your character, your affection increased it.” (Josephine to Beethoven, Winter 1806/7, in Schmidt-Görg 1957, p. 20.)〕 However, it was to the much older Joseph Count Deym (born 1752) to whom she was given in marriage – her mother needed a wealthy son-in-law of equal social standing. After some initial (mainly financial) difficulties, the Deyms developed a reasonably happy relationship,〔Details in Steblin (2007).〕 and Beethoven, continuing as Josephine’s piano teacher, was a regular visitor. Josephine gave birth to three children in quick succession, and was pregnant with the fourth, when Count Deym died suddenly of pneumonia in January 1804.
