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.

What I needed!
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
My skin it very sensitive and dry which makes finding a good soap difficult. I'm also not able to use exfoliating products as it is painful and/or damages my skin but a wash cloth isn't enough. This soap is great in that there are very few ingredients and they are all natural so no skin reactions. It is actually soothing. The whole oatmeal in it exfoliates but also softens so no pain or skin damage. Definitely plan to continue ordering this product.

A miracle for those with eczema.
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I recently bought the Goat's milk soap with oatmeal and honey. Let me just say that I LOVE this soap. For YEARS I have been trying all kinds of naturally derived soaps in search of a keeper, and I finally found it. A big thank you to The Soap Haven. I have been dealing with dishydrotic eczema on my hands and fingers for about five years now, and finding products that don't trigger outbreaks can be like playing with fire. I have found soaps that do just that, and I have find soaps that are mild enough not to do that, but I have never before used a soap that actually soothes my skin. This soap does that,it SOOTHES. Every time I use this soap, my eczema is almost healed and I am not exaggerating. I have had awful break outs, and after a few minutes of lathering with this soap, the itching goes away entirely, the redness subsides, swelling goes down and it has consistently been this way. Also, this soap leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable - Not oily, not dry or tight, just really comfortable. Anyways, I am just so impressed and thankful, this soap is miraculous. Please don't discontinue or change this formula. You have a customer for life. Oh, and another plus, I live in Oregon, so I am proud to be giving my business to a business like this one. P.S. I read a lot of reviews that gave one star for the smell, or said it's not unscented, well it is fragrance free, the only thing that you can smell is the combination of honey, goatsmilk, and oats-and that is good! It is evidence that this is all natural soap with the ingredients it claims to have with no fragrance added for appeal. Now, in my opinion, this comes with the territory, if you want something that smells like a perfumery, then go with the synthetic stuff, but if you want all-natural, free of essential oils and parfum, then embrace the less popular smells of nature.

Nice moisturizing soap, expensive
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I have been using this soap for about a year. I like the skin calming and anti-itch properties of oatmeal, the soap doesn’t dry my skin, and there’s no scent, I also find it fairly long-lasting—once a sliver gets too small to use in the shower it goes into a soap dish by the bathroom sink and I wash my hands with it. Even a dime-sized piece will lather nicely. One star removed because I think this soap is more expensive than it needs to be.

Excellent Oatmeal Soao
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
Very nice soap. True whole oatmeal soap, not crumbs, but chunks. Like someone else mentioned, they were sent in a shipping bag, but mine came undamaged. Besides… it’s freaking soap! Worth buying for exfoliating.
