Was Constanze Mozart simply a wife, or a crucial, yet often overlooked, influence on one of history's greatest composers? The narrative that paints her as merely a spouse drastically undersells her multifaceted role in Mozart's life and career.

Maria Constanze Ccilia Josepha Johanna Aloysia Mozart, ne Weber, was more than just the wife of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Born on January 5, 1762, in Zell im Wiesental, Austria, she was an Austrian woman who trained as a singer and possessed musical talent of her own. Her mother was Ccilia Weber, ne Stamm. Constanze's life was intertwined with Mozart's in ways that modern biographers are only beginning to fully understand.
