Constance Weber Biography

Lena Muravyova Konstanta Weber-Mozart: wife of a genius wife of a brilliant Mozart was a simple burgher, that is, a citizen. But it was she who at the end of the behavior of many researchers on the list of the accused is listed ... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died at 35, leaving behind a total of works, debts, two children and a lot of issues related to the oddities of her death.

The versions were considered different. However, neither in the next years, the witnesses of the tragedy were still alive, nor now, using scientific research, it was not possible to discover the truth. It was not possible to add an unambiguous idea of ​​one of the suspects - Konstanta Weber, the widow of Mozart. However, brilliant alias over time gave the composer a resignation, and the Constanta, on the contrary, showed sympathy, and then perseverance, which led the young lady to the altar.

In all respects, it was a mesalliance, so the relatives of Mozart did not complain to the daughter -in -law. But the composer did not bother. History has preserved Mozart's Epistles to his wife. Think about me, love me forever, how I love you, and you will be mine forever, like I am forever. Catch them - catch them - these three tender kisses that have just fluttered from here.

” But we will not rush with conclusions and try to see the life of this pair without embellishment. Rather, the life of the Constanta. After all, it is she who is our heroine. Take, for example, so appreciated by the weak floor, material well -being. Alas, Mozart's family was pursued by eternal financial problems. Depending on the availability of money, the young spouses constantly moved to the center of Vienna, then to the outskirts, now and then sat in debt and this, despite the sometimes fabulous fees of the head of the family and the help of rich friends.

By the way, when the composer died, there was nothing to bury him on. After all, for several years, Mozart could not provide a family. Someone will object: he is a genius and happiness is not in money. Of course, Mozart is a genius. However, creativity does not exclude the pragmatic principles, and every woman, more and more than the exemplary wife, which was Constanta, deserves from her husband not only ephemeral “air kisses”, but also quite real material stability.

Or at least its moral compensation - mental peace, mutual understanding, mutual support, etc. All this was deprived of the Constance. Mozart lived in violent passions. The childish, cheerful, amorous he spent without measure, had fun in companies, played, cheated. The destiny of the Constance was debts, bills, lies and a growing feeling of disappointment. Mozart did not make secrets from his adventures and wrote to his father: “The Almighty gave me talent not to destroy him from behind his wife and live inactively his young life.

I am just starting life, should I spoil it? The poor heredity of Mozart could be guilty of this. Recent studies suggest that Wolfgang's parents were close relatives.

But Constanta could know this for sure and consciously or not, to blame her husband in the death of children. However, I repeat, this is only an assumption. A scandal in a noble family, if we consider someone else's family life in a microscope, then how to get around its beginning. Very, very unpleasant for the Constanta. It was like this: after the death of his father, the Besber family barely made ends meet and, to amend the financial situation, Frau Weber decided to rent rooms.

Mozart became one of the guests and, under the conditions, had a complete boarding house. Perhaps the service of the services “entered” the eighteen -year -old Constanta. In any case, Frau Weber once forced the young composer to sign a marriage obligation: “The present I assure that for three years I undertake to marry the girl Konstanta Weber, otherwise I am ready to pay compensation in the amount of such and such an amount and pay Florin annually in favor of Frau Weber until the end of her life.” Usually this document is guilty of a cunning frau.

Like, she wanted to sell her daughter with her hands, so she pressed a potential husband against the wall. But why did Mozart, loving Constanta, have brought the situation to the point that his beloved mother had to use forceful techniques and demand guarantees for the future? Meanwhile, the girl in this situation behaved quite decisively. In response to Matushkin, an excessive initiative or to the infantility of the boyfriend, she broke a shameful document, and then ....

This impudent act for its time has gained very unpleasant consequences. The scandal erupted, the mother wanted, but could not return her daughter even with the help of the police. But Mozart was in a difficult situation. In order to put dots on the “i”, the composer sent his father a letter demanding to allow the marriage - before that he dutifully asked. Six months later! But before the Constanta as any young lady who fell into such a situation, probably, shed a sea of ​​tears about the uncertainty of her future, and, regretting a destroyed reputation.

It is unlikely that she did not even recall the offense of the pore of courtship in the future. A look from the future some hypotheses about the family of Mozart and the Constanta also arise from the knowledge of subsequent events.Constanta grew up in a very poor family and, in girlhood, led the household in the parental house. She was used to being stripped, pragmatic and was able to control the budget.

She showed the same prudence later, Vedovov. And only during the marriage with Mozart, the Constanta led a bohemian lifestyle and then rose “from the mud to the riches”, then fell to the bottom of the financial abyss. At the same time, she could not change anything and suffered the “rules of the game”, which Wolfgang in the family asked. Patience is certainly good quality. But harmful to health.

Apparently, the Constanta suffered too much, because during the marriage with Mozart, she often hurt for a long time. Of course, frequent pregnancy and stress were affected by the death of children. But there was another ailment. Constanta suffered from chronic constipation, which, according to the psychosomatics of connecting emotions with the defeat of certain organs, arise due to the habit of holding negative experiences and unwillingness to take responsibility for their future.

Now the most amazing thing: it turns out that sick constipation is recommended - no more or less, like - to start a new life and take responsibility for it. So it happened with Konstantsi. After the death of her husband, she began a new life, spent it not at all like Mozart and died on March 6. Age for that time is unique. Mozart's death on December 5 at 4 a.m. Mozart died.

According to eyewitnesses of Constanta, it was in a state of prostration. Perhaps that is why, on the advice of the Baron, the Mozart Patron, Van Sviten, moved off the apartment, pre -adjusting concerns for the funeral to the friends of the deceased spouse. In the future, the Constanta was neither on funeral service or at the funeral, but it is difficult to imagine that she did not know how to hold these events.

Mozart was buried with incomprehensible haste, without an official announcement of death, it was made after the funeral, without bringing the body to the Cathedral of St. Stefan where Mozart served as an assistant dropmaster, in a common grave, together, poor, poor from the Bible. The official explanation for this unprecedented step was given the most objective - lack of money. But according to some reports, Konstanta had 60 guilders.

Of course, she should have saved. After all, now she counted on her own strength. But the occasion was serious, it was possible to spend money. Surely, there were funds of von Sviten. And he is not 8 guilders for a third -rate burial, but a little more, he would not have gone with his hand out of his hand. Especially with the works of Mozart donated to him. But Gottfried Van Svits, on the day of Mozart’s death, was fired from all his posts, so he did not consider it possible to show great generosity.

The inconsolable widow in a stressful situation of each person’s reaction is unpredictable and there is nothing surprising in the fact that the inconsolable widow did not follow the funeral. It’s worth it to be amazed at another: Konstanta got out of her husband’s grave through ... 18 years, when no one remembered where the body of the great musician rests.

Oh, this is only the beginning. Sources present the following fact in different ways, but it seems that on the day of the funeral of Constanta, a scandal arranged and announced that the student of Mozart, the wife of Franz Hofdemel, was her husband's mistress. After that, an angry hofemel, when the wife returned from the memorial service for Mozart, pounced on her pregnant woman!

From then to this day, the poor fellow Hofmel is the second, after Salieri, who was suspected of poisoning Mozart, after the "envious". According to some experts, he could well poison Mozart out of jealousy. In third place - handsome Franz Xavier Zyusmair. He, being a student of Mozart, previously took a course with Salieri, and also accompanied Konstanta either once or a few to the resort in Baden, because of which rumor attributed to them a novel.

Allegedly, Mozart was even jealous of his wife. One way or another, but six months before the death of her husband, Konstanta gave birth to a son, whom Zyusmaira, Franz Xavier named in honor. This moment was, in general, the basis for the accusations of the Konstanta and Zyusmayra in the murder of the composer. By the way, Vienna spoke that Mozart was poisoned a few days after the funeral.

One of the Viennese newspapers even considered it possible to print such hot material. And then the poor widow, not wanting to defeat her husband’s name, forgetting about poverty, did not spare money or finding a sponsor and bought the circulation. A new life but the largest "miracles" occurred with Constanta later. She began a new life at the age of 29, weighed down by debts, without a livelihood, with two small children in her arms.
