In March 1827, Beethoven's most famous letter - a love letter - was found in his apartment, with no name to identify his past lover. How can a love letter to no one still be regarded as the most romantic love letter of our time? And how can we know the value of love letters if the most beautiful one in the world left a brilliant man alone to his painful death? I talked to a Beethoven scholar, a wedding photographer, a psychologist, and the happiest bride I know to answer the question: are love letters dead? If they didn’t work for Beethoven, can they still work for us - even in this instant world of Facebook, SnapChat, Instagram and text messages?
