One evening after class, under the beautiful arches of the Giulietta house, Beethoven spoke to his beloved but he was disappointed and miserable when he was rejected. One of Beethoven’s students was Countess Giulietta Guicciardi – a beautiful 17-year-old noble lady, Beethoven felt in love with this girl from the first sight, Giulietta also seemed to know Beethoven’s feelings for her but she remained silent, which made Beethoven even more hopeful.
