Constanze, Mozart’s Beloved

This book restores the reputation of Mozart’s wife, long maligned by historians as a foolish and self-centered woman. This strong-minded woman, however, is shown to be of critical support to her husband and after his death, she was largely responsible for keeping his music before the public. She travelled extensively, organised concerts and ensured accurate publication of his works. With her second husband, Nissen she published the first documented Mozart biography. Her business acumen and competence was a rarity in her era.
