Mozart's 1782 letter revealing a dramatic tale of marriage woes hits Christie's London in July. 🎵💔
Mozart inked the two pages in the summer of 1782 whilst in Vienna. At that time, Constanze Weber was living under the same roof as Mozart, but the couple had not yet tied the knot. Constanze’s mother, Cäcilia Weber, was none too pleased about the couple’s domestic situation and threatened to send in the police to reclaim her daughter and save her reputation. Mozart decided the only solution was for him wed Constanze the next day. The couple went on to get married on August 4, 1782.
Mozart’s arrival in Vienna also marked a turning point in his professional life. It was then that he chose an independent career making money through compositions, performances, and teaching rather than relying on his privileged position as a musician at the Salzburg court.The letter, which was signed and written by Mozart himself, has always been kept in private collections. In fact, it has not been seen by the public or scholars since 1989.
