My Take
History tends to frame Constanze Mozart as a footnote to her husband, and I think that does her a real disservice. A trained soprano who became a shrewd businesswoman, she spent her widowhood safeguarding Wolfgang's manuscripts, reputation, and legacy through publication and biography. Mozart's letters reveal a man deeply, almost helplessly in love with her across their nine years together, which tells me she was far more than a domestic companion. I admire figures who steward genius rather than merely orbit it. Without her stewardship, our access to much of his work might look very different today. She earns my respect.
