[[File:Countess Giulietta Guicciardi.jpg|thumb|<center>Ivory miniature of an unknown lady from Beethoven's estate (about 1805), possibly Therese von Zandt; original in the [[Beethoven House]]</center>.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2KtlT8Y Beschreibung auf der Website des Beethoven-Hauses]</ref> – In the older literature allegedly a portrait of [[Giulietta Guicciardi]].]]
'''Anna Therese Friederike von Zandt zu Reichartshausen''' (18 June 1771 – 26 December 1858) was a German pianist and singer. She was the mother of the composers [[Friedrich Burgmüller]] and [[Norbert Burgmüller]].
== Life ==
[[File:Therese und August Burgmüller.jpg|thumb|<center>Therese and August Burgmüller as spectators at the entry of [[Napoleon]] into Düsseldorf on 3 November 1811, coloured engraving by Johann Petersen (excerpt); . - As in the portrait from Beethoven's estate, Therese here has short brown hair and wears a white dress and a red [[sash]] over her left shoulder.</center>]]
Born in [[Düsseldorf]], Zandt was the youngest daughter of the married couple
* Johann Gerhard ''Franz'' Freiherr von Zandt (18 November 1740 in [[Mannheim]] – 18 March 1807 in Düsseldorf-Karlstadt), last Major General of the Cavalry, and
* Maria ''Sophia'' Reichsfreiin von Lindenfels (8 September 1745 in Schloss Wolframshof near [[Kastl, Tirschenreuth|Kastl]] – 28 November 1802 in Düsseldorf).
The mother Therese von Zandts was accepted in 1795 into the [[Order of the Starry Cross]]; she herself was from 1783 to 1805 [[Stift|Stiftsdame]] of the aristocratic liberal in [[Westphalia]].
However, she initially continued to live in Düsseldorf, where on 11 January 1792 she was also mentioned as a singer in the concert of a musician named Ferretti, in which she performed two "Bravour arias" and two further vocal performances.<ref>Kopitz (1998), </ref>
From 1792 to 1794 she was also a pupil and lover of her later husband [[Friedrich August Burgmüller]], whom she lost sight of again when her parents discovered the relationship and banned it. Afterwards she probably lived in [[Leipzig]], temporarily also in Vienna.
The reencounter with Burgmüller did not take place until 25 August 1804 in [[Regensburg]]. On 13 May 1805 both married, in June/July 1807 the couple moved to Düsseldorf.
In Düsseldorf she was a sought-after piano teacher and, according to [[Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter]], a friend of the family, taught "in the first families of the city". From 1838 she advocated the publication of the estate of her son Norbert and sold a part to [[Friedrich Hofmeister]]'s publishing house in Leipzig. The contract was signed on 17 September 1841.<ref>Klaus Tischendorf and [[Tobias Koch]], ''Norbert Burgmüller. Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis'', Cologne 2011, </ref>
== Presumed relationship with Beethoven ==
The [[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]] researcher [[Klaus Martin Kopitz]] put forward the thesis that from 1798 Zandt was an employee of the Leipzig ''[[Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung]]'', edited by [[Friedrich Rochlitz]], and author of those sums which appeared there under the abbreviation "Z..." In the autumn of 1803 she travelled to Vienna and recommended to Beethoven the ''[[Fidelio]]'' material which Rochlitz translated from French at that time. She was then probably Beethoven's lover for "seven full months" - from 5 December 1803 to 5 July 1804. This relationship was witnessed by Beethoven's then pupil [[Ferdinand Ries]], who was taught by Beethoven from 1803 to 1805. Ries mentions this in his memoirs of Beethoven:
[https://books.google.com/books?id=CfY-AAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Biographische+Notizen+über+Ludwig+van+Beethoven&hl=de#v=onepage&q=sieben&f=false (Numerised)]</ref>}}
By this Beethoven probably meant Zandt, who according to Kopitz also wrote the address on the letter that Beethoven sent to Friedrich Rochlitz on 4 January 1804. In it, he informed him that he did not want to set to music a libretto sent by Rochlitz that was not known in detail, but had just begun to set the ''Fidelio'' libretto to music.<ref>Vgl. Ludwig van Beethoven, ''Briefwechsel. Gesamtausgabe'', volume 1, edited by [[Sieghard Brandenburg]], Munich 1996, , here "Adresse von fremder Hand"</ref> It's Beethoven's only known letter to Rochlitz.
The libretto was originally written by [[Pierre Gaveaux]] and was first set to music in 1798 by [[Jean Nicolas Bouilly]] as ''[[Léonore, ou L'amour conjugal]]''. The German translation of Rochlitz was written for the second setting by [[Ferdinando Paer]] and was first published on the occasion of the premiere of his ''[[Leonora (opera)|Leonora]]'' on 3 October 1804 in [[Dresden]].
Rochlitz was apparently very unhappy about this "intellectual theft", so that Beethoven wrote on 5 July 1806 in a letter to the Leipzig publishing house [[Breitkopf & Härtel]]: "They kindly emphazise me hr. v. Rochliz, I hope his Evil Blood against me will have thinned itself a little, they tell him that I would not be so ignorant in foreign literature that I did not know, Mr. v. Rochliz wrote quite beautiful things".<ref>Kopitz (2007), </ref>
A letter by Beethoven to the painter [[Joseph Willibrord Mähler]], probably in December 1803, might also refer to Zandt:
, hier datiert: „vermutlich 1804"</ref>}}
Mähler later told Beethoven's biographer [[Alexander Wheelock Thayer]] that he created his famous Beethoven portrait in the winter of 1803/04, when the composer was busy finishing his ''[[Symphony No. 3 (Beethoven)|Eroica]]''.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2Quqiw4 ''Beethoven aus der Sicht seiner Zeitgenossen''] on WorldCat</ref> edit. by Klaus Martin Kopitz and Rainer Cadenbach, Munich: Henle, 2009, volume 2, </ref>
== Honour ==
In honour of Zandt, a "Theresen-Kabinett" was opened in June 2018 in Asbeck Monastery, in which her family is also honoured.<ref>Ronny von Wangenheim, ''Theresenkabinett in der Hunnenpforte öffnet.
