	Dear Constanze \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Constanze's only redeeming feature seems to be a basic loyalty to her husband, manifested in a readiness to sleep with his rival Salieri in order to advance Mozart's career.
		In addition to Constanze, for whom Mozart would write the sublime but challenging solos in his Mass in C minor, Fridolin's eldest daughter, Josefa, was to be Mozart's first Queen of the Night, and his second, Aloysia, became the Renée Fleming of her day, enjoying great public acclaim for her singing.
		Mozart on his travels was aware of her activities on his behalf, and his letters home suggest immense gratitude and relief, in addition to his habitual longing for her.

	MOZART'S WIFE, CONSTANZE WEBER: MY PAGE
		Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg on January 27, 1756, and was called to the Lord on December 5, 1791 in Vienna, aged almost six-and-thirty years.
		The imprint Mozart made on my heart was deepened when, one and one half years later in Munich, where we then resided, he again came into our lives--this time on his return trip to Salzburg from his stay in Paris.
		Mozart and I were deeply in love, and were married in Saint Stefan's Cathedral when I was twenty and my husband six-and-twenty.

	Mozart's death
		Constanze Mozart told only a few main points to her second husband, Nissen, who then published a report on the issue.
		On December 5th, 1791 at aproximately 1 a.m (12:55) Mozart was asleep in his bed, others tending to him, when he suddenly sat straight up (this from a man who had been unable to move) his eyes wide, then fell back against the bed.
		Mozart's funeral was a disgrace to all of Vienna.

		When he received the libretto for a vocal composition, he went about for some time, concentrating on it until his imagination was fired.
		It is even possible that, having read the forged letter, Constanze believed it to be genuine.

	Mozart
		Mozart's Requiem - the composer's last and unfinished work - was commissioned by Count Franz von Walsegg, who wished to have it performed in memory of his departed wife as his own composition.
		In order not to forfeit the handsome commission fee, Mozart's widow Constanze decided to have the work completed in secrecy, so that the finished version could b presented as her husband's final effort.
		Bearing a forged signature "di me W. Mozart mpr 1792" in Sussmayr's hand on the first page of the score, it was sent to the Count - after Constanze had it copied, in violation of the terms of the contract.

	BOOKS: 'Constanze, Mozart's Beloved', by Agnes Selby - 4 December 1999
		Constanze emerges as a loving woman, full of common sense, who gave Mozart the stability, harmony, and affection which he needed to fulfil his genius.
		Mozart, desperate for money to repay debts, accepted a commission for the Requiem (which appealed to him as he loved high church music) from a mysterious visitor in grey, but then contracted 'military fever'.
		She knew instinctively that the excessive interest in Mozart's music after his death was largely due to a sense of regret that he had died so young and so suddenly.

	Mozart's wife \| Samizdata.net
		What is more, in portraying Constanze like this, Shaffer only echoed contemporary gossip about her, now believed to be utterly without foundation, to the effect that she had no idea to whom and to what she was married.
		That nothing like this happened to the wondrous creative output of Mozart is due to the industry of many people, not least to that of Constanze's second husband, whom she got to know because they worked together to preserve and publish husband number one's compositions.
		The notion that Mozart and his family were in a state of virtual poverty at the time of the composer's death is almost entirely due to her bending of the truth.

	Constanze Mozart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		These are the words which begin almost every one of the surviving letters that Mozart wrote to his wife, Constanze.
		Her name was Constanze Marie Weber, one of several daughters of an inconsequential musician, and she was born in Zell, a small town in central Germany, on January 5, 1762.
		Aloisa's main claim to fame, of course, lay in the fact that she was Mozart's first serious love, but she jilted him in favor of her budding career, thinking him "such a little man..." In the end, it was Constanze that he fell truly in love with and married.

		Constanze is sometimes accused of having an affair with one of Mozart’s pupils (who is said to have fathered Constanze’s second surviving child); and Mozart is sometimes accused of having an affair with another of his pupils.
		As for Constanze’s knowledge of music (and especially her role in Mozart’s creative life), it is important to remember that she grew up in a musical environment and was accustomed to a bohemian lifestyle.
		Constanze’s appreciation of music and belief in her husband’s work are evident in Mozart’s description of Constanze’s response when he played fugues by Handel and Bach at home.

	Constanza, Wolfgang Mozart and Georg Nikolaus Nissen
		Nothing unusual about this, except that Mozart was supposed to be dead and Constanze was supposed to be a grieving widow clutching desperately to the remnants of her family.
		Because in reality, Mozart had been ground down, first by the unrealistic, unstoppable demands of his father, then by the necessity of going on with it as a young adult.
		What Mozart was almost certainly referring to was that exotic tropical poison, the one we have all heard of, which, according to how it is prepared, magically kills in an exact number of days, weeks or months after it is administered.

	2006 Mozart Conference Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Breitkopf print of Mozart’s Requiem, issued in the summer of 1800, was widely used for performances and largely determined the transmission of the work for the next 25 years.
		Besides Mozart’s fragmentary score and the so-called Ablieferungspartitur there must at least have been a working manuscript of Süßmayr’s; reportedly two copies of the Ablieferungspartitur were made before it was sent to Graf Walsegg.
		To her great surprise Constanze learned from Breitkopf that he claimed that he had access to two manuscript copies of the Requiem.

	Mozart
		Mozart is named after his grandfather on his mother's side and after the Saint on his date of birth, Johannes Chrysostomus.
		Mozart's resignation and his move to Vienna put a strain in his relationship with his father.
		At the same time it is a token of his marriage to Constanze, his gift of love to her, the expression of his gratitude to God for having granted him this sacred union and blessed it with a child.

		And though recent writers, including H.C. Robbins Landon and Volkmar Braunbehrens, also have risen to Constanze's defense, Selby is the first to free her subject from the constraints of Mozartean biography.
		She was born during the Seven Years War, came of age during the Enlightenment, survived Napoleon and the incursions of his Grand Armée, and witnessed the birth of the age of revolution.
		Details of Constanze's efforts to keep Mozart's music and name before the public, her negotiations with music publishers, her relationship with Georg Nikolaus Nissen and the lives of her two surviving children will be new to most readers.

	A Mozart manuscript reunited
		A Mozart manuscript cut in half over 170 years ago by his widow was reunited at the British Library in time for the composer's 250th birthday in January 2006.
		Original manuscripts of Mozart's music were by then considered prized possessions and Constanze sought to maximise the value of the manuscript by dividing it in half.
		The quartets illustrate Mozart’s efforts to be taken seriously as a composer in his own right and shake off his reputation as a child prodigy, established after years of touring Europe under the wing of his ambitious father.

		For the 50 years she survived him she never ceased to work on behalf of his music; she lived it and, even in her very old age when her hands were almost too crippled to hold a pen, wrote letters promoting it, arranged for its publication, and could sing its themes.
		Constanze, Mozart's Beloved is a historical account which beautifully captures the worth of Constanze Weber and the challenges of her commitment to her departed endeared husband, the genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
		Constanze Mozart is a woman who has been much maligned in the past as a featherbrained spendthrift at best, and a murderous slattern at worst.

		Mozart was already feeling ill in Prague while finishing La clemenza di Tito.
		Much of what is known today about Mozart comes either directly from correspondences about him, to him, and from him, or indirectly from biographers who gathered information from interviews with people close to him, such as his wife, Constanze, his works, and material from people who have come in contact with Mozart.

		Media reports last week stated that an 1840 photograph found in Germany is of Mozart's widow, taken when she was 78.
		The daguerreotype was taken at the home of the Swiss composer Max Keller, whom Constanze used to visit regularly, in the Bavarian town of Altötting.
		However, late last week Agnes Selby, author of Constanze, Mozart's Beloved, wrote in a posting on the Classical Music Guide Forums website, "I am terribly sorry to disappoint people on this forum, but this is certainly not Constanze but someone's aunt." She also says that the image was doctored.
