  Constanze Mozart
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.

 Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The operas of Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst von Weber (1786-1826) are the cornerstone of the German romantic opera, and he is often heralded as the father of musical romanticism.
The turning point in Weber's career seems to have taken place when he was arrested and eventually banished from Stuttgart as a result of an unsavory scandal concerning a possible charge of bribery in connection with the court.
Weber was also a respectable prose writer, especially of music criticism, thus proving himself to be entirely in keeping with 19th-century romantic aspirations.

Frau Weber ruled the life of the girls more because her husband was easygoing and gave in to her wild matrimonial plans for them even when he did put in his two cents…and then he died, and left it all to her.
Aloysia’s husband had a contract with Frau Weber, Aloysia’s mother, to send a certain sum every year because the Weber parents had provided for her during her training…they were not supposed to lose the financial benefits of her earnings.
One of the reasons Frau Weber wanted at least one of her girls to marry very well is that she would also be uplifted in social strata…riding in carriages, served hot chocolate by the maid, moving in with her now fortunate daughters for months at a time.

 Mozart’s Wife
Constanze had a fine ear, was a good pianist, and had a pretty soprano voice, and most of all she had an appreciation for Mozart's sensitivity.
However, it was during this time that Constanze and Mozart had a brief separation over a disagreement on Constanze's behavior when she had lost a round of a game of forfeits, where she paid the penalty of her game loss by letting a young man measure her calves with a ribbon.
Constanze became ill, was in confinement, and Mozart now looked at the situation as a chance to be an heroic deliverer - "I must rescue her as soon as possible." He had a vision of liberating his beloved.

"Supportive, intelligent, and encouraging," Constanze was "a fun-loving companion" who, after Mozart's early death, did her utmost to ensure Mozart's reputation would be stellar, and that his music would be in the hands of reputable publishers.
Glover, to the contrary, argues that "the vast conception and 'tailor made' solo writing for Constanze are spectacular indicators of his great love for his new wife," particularly as they demonstrate his awareness of the music that she both liked and could sing.

Weber, as a cousin of Mozart's wife Constanze Weber, was more justifiably proud of being related to the great composer by marriage.
Indeed, the unearthly music for converging and diverging strings at the beginning of Act 3, when the innocent Euryanthe is about to be killed by her husband for supposed unfaithfulness, ushers us in the general direction of Wagner's marvellous music for the scene on the cliffs of Brittany at the beginning of Tristan's Act 3.

Granted, Constanze's alteration of family letters has certainly irritated scholars and raised suspicions about her motivations, but that is applying twentieth-century views of biography to the more protective one of earlier times.
A primary issue in both stage and screen versions is Mozart's behavior: his cavorting with Constanze in a public room of a noble residence, his use of inappropriate language, his excessive drinking, his lack of respect for the emperor and archbishop, his public parody of Salieri, his high self-opinion, and his general insensitivity to propriety.

In 1781, the Webers had followed Aloysia to Vienna, where she was engaged to sing at the imperial theater.
In an attempt to placate Leopold, who was quite vocal in his distrust of the Webers, Mozart’s letters to his father paint Constanze as sweet, industrious, quiet, thrifty, and modest, in short the perfect wife and helpmate, and to reinforce the contrast, paint Aloysia in the flest of terms.
In order to impress his father with the sober, industrious life he himself was leading in Vienna, he mentioned a half-finished Mass he had written for Constanze, in fulfillment of a vow he had made if she recovered from an undisclosed illness and allowed him to marry her.
