Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, (sometimes Nicolaus or Nicolai; born January 22, 1761 in Haderslev, Denmark, died March 24, 1826 in Salzburg) was a diplomat and writer.
Nissen is known most as a biographer of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose widow Constanze he had married in 1809.
Nissen deserves credit most of all for his efforts to collect all documents concerning Mozart, starting with the Mozart family's letters and including commemorative coins and monuments.

For it lends itself even less than that of the other major classical composers to being described in words or having its essence reduced to particular aesthetic or technical concepts or principles, in the way that Bach is described as the master of counterpoint and Beethoven as the master of symphonic form and development.
In the decades following Mozart's death there were several attempts to inventory his compositions, but it was only in 1862 that Ludwig von Köchel, a Viennese botanist, mineralogist, and educator, succeeded in this enterprise.

According to Mozart's own testimony, he was dismissed – literally – "with a kick in the seat of the pants." Mozart chose to settle and develop his own freelance career in Vienna after its aristocracy began to take an interest in him.
Nissen did not live to see his biography printed, and Constanze finished it.

 Salieri and the murder of Mozart
I cannot rid myself of this idea.’” This conversation, which is one of the cornerstones of the poisoning legend, Constanze later repeated to her second husband, Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, who recorded it in his biography of Mozart in much the same terms as the Niemetschek version.
Nissen’s identification of the fatal illness as “miliary fever” accords with the cause of death as set forth in the registers of deaths of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and Parish in Vienna.
Nissen does not mention the weather in his biography and attributes Constanze’s absence to her overpowering grief.

Mozart’s work had gone through several cataloguers, beginning with Abbe Maximilian Stadler (who was assisted by Constanze’s second husband, Georg Nikolaus von Nissen), furthered by Joseph Haydn and Johann Anton Andre’, as well as Breitkopf & Härtel themselves early on.

Defects are somewhat slight: one of the most important Mozart sources is the biography written by Constanze with her second husband, Georg Nikolaus von Nissen.
Von Nissen defaced some of Wolfgang’s letters to protect the identities of individuals still living, so it is not a great stretch of the imagination that other letters were completely withheld and/or destroyed.
However, my fault is that despite it being the most authoritative source, Landon does not analyse it in nearly enough detail.
