A lot of people question whether there is ever going to be enough evidence to settle the immortal beloved letter to everyone's satisfaction. In Germany and on the Continent, people tend to believe that it's Josephine Brunsvik, and in the United States and England, people tend to believe it's Antonie Brentano. So the controversy continues.

Antonie Brentano, a married woman with four children was in the right places at the right times. For example, she was in Prague with her husband just before the letter was written. And then she went to Carlsbad, so she fits the clues found in the letter. Emotionally though the evidence favours an old love, Josephine Brunsvik. The letters which survived from her earlier relationship with Beethoven, match the 1812 letter in passion, vocabulary and style.
