Story behind the song
Beethoven was very much in love with the beautiful Giulietta, Countess Guicciardi, to whom the so-called "Moonlight" sonata is dedicated. The Countess married a Count Gallenberg, and Beethoven said of the marriage: "Heaven forgive her, for she did not know what she was doing!" He wrote further: "I was much loved by her -- far better than she ever loved her husband." But Beethoven was poor, in bad health, and -- deaf; and marriage in his case was out of the question.
