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.

Long lasting
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This goes on easily, has great coverage, and lasted longer than I expected. Even with sweating I was still fully protected. The best part is it doesn't feel sticky or oily once it has dried down. The first few minutes after application it does have a bit of an oily feel, but that goes away relatively quickly. I have very sensitive skin and I often either break out or get irritated skin from a variety of beauty products. This is the only sunscreen that hasn't made me feel itchy or uncomfortable. I am going to buy the two pack next time.

The only sunscreen I can get my dad to wear
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen. I use it when I am too lazy or in a hurry to apply sunscreen from the tube, or when I am reapplying. I also like to use it on my legs because it is so much faster than applying tube sunscreen. This is quite effective and offers almost as much sun protection as my tube physical sunscreens that are SPF 50 with a high zinc oxide content. My dad, who has fair skin and always refuses to wear sunscreen, even though I can see him getting burned - actually agreed to apply this sunscreen because it is not yucky and is actually a pleasant application. He even said he liked using it, so I ordered him a can of this and I think he might start using it on his own! I am so thankful I found something that he is willing to use! There is no white cast at all and does not require rubbing.

Light spray with pleasant scent
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this product. It goes on lightly, it’s not greasy and the smell is nice. Although, I noticed that even with multiple applications I still got a slight sunburn. For this reason, I wouldn’t trust it for a long day out in the sun. It’s better suited for an average day with light to moderate sun exposure.

Protects your skin better than other brands due to Helioplex Technology
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Had Mohs surgery after they found a spot on my bald head. The office gave me a very short list of things to do to protect my skin going forward. This was on that list because it contains Helioplex Technology. Now if they are going to suggest I use helioplex technology to protect my skin then I am going to start using it, and now. I have been using it all summer. It works well, my skin feels great after using this sunscreen. No greasy feel. The spray is fantastic, no slimy hands from spreading lotion. Best of all it last for a long time on the skin. We should all be wearing sunscreen and this one has the newest technology. Neutrogena for the win!

Doesn't smell like sunscreen
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is so easy to apply and it smells great. I am sensitive to the sun but I hate smelling like sunscreen, this has a fresh clean smell and goes on evenly.
