Dom Aiken about piano piece “Immortal Beloved”:
“Based off the unsent love letter written by Beethoven. Of the many theories of who this letter was written for, this piece was inspired by Josephine Brunszvik.
Have you ever felt a love so strong, pure and powerful? Fully knowing that you’d never be together. Regardless the reason, other relationships or simply that it just wouldn’t work. That is the vein of this piece. A pure and untethered love. Written to be light and free, deep from within the heart of young love, before the complications and responsibilities of adulthood set it.”
