In May, he 'was obliged to leave', and chose to board in the Weber household, originally intending 'to stay there only a week'. On first arriving in Vienna on 16 March 1781, Mozart stayed at the house of the Teutonic Order with the staff of his patron, Archbishop Colloredo. The house where the Webers lived (on the second floor) was at Am Peter 11, and bore a name (as houses often did at the time): Zum Auge Gottes ('God's Eye'). By the time Mozart moved to Vienna in 1781, Aloysia had married Joseph Lange, who agreed to help Cäcilia Weber with an annual stipend she also took in boarders to make ends meet. One month after their arrival, Fridolin died. The family moved to Vienna in 1779, again following Aloysia as she pursued her career. She rejected Mozart when he passed through Munich on his way back to Salzburg. While he was in Paris, Aloysia obtained a position as a singer in Munich, and the family accompanied her there.

He fell in love-not with 15-year-old Constanze, but with Aloysia. The 21-year-old Mozart visited Mannheim in 1777 on a job-hunting tour with his mother and developed a close relationship with the Weber family. All four were trained as singers and Josepha and Aloysia both went on to distinguished musical careers, later on performing in the premieres of a number of Mozart's works.ĭuring most of Constanze's upbringing, the family lived in her mother's hometown of Mannheim, an important cultural, intellectual and musical center. Constanze had two older sisters, Josepha and Aloysia, and one younger one, Sophie. Fridolin's half-brother was the father of composer Carl Maria von Weber. Her father, Fridolin Weber, worked as a ' double bass player, prompter, and music copyist'. She became Mozart's biographer jointly with her second husband.Ĭonstanze Weber was born in Zell im Wiesental, a town near Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg, in the southwest of Germany, then Further Austria. She and Mozart had six children: Karl Thomas Mozart, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, and four others who died in infancy. She was married twice, first to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart then to Georg Nikolaus von Nissen. Maria Constanze Cäcilia Josepha Johanna Aloysia Mozart ( née Weber 5 January 1762 – 6 March 1842) was a trained Austrian singer.
