Beloved Little Wife
Beloved Little Wife
Wolfgang Mozart love letters are as profound and sincere as they can get.
Besides his music, his entire focus was on his second passionate lover, Constanze.
This classic musician kept a portrait of her as he wrote. Perhaps to give us an important wake-up-call on how to hold vividly in our minds and hearts the presence of those we love.
October 17, 1790
"PS.–while I was writing the last page, tear after tear fell on
the paper. But I must cheer up — catch! — An astonishing number
of kisses are flying about — The deuce!– I see a whole crowd of
them! Ha! Ha!…I have just caught three– They are delicious!– You
can still answer this letter, but you must address your reply to
Linz, Poste Restante– That is the safest course. As I do not yet
know for certain whether I shall go to Regensburg, I can’t tell
you anything definite. Just write on the cover that the letter is
to be kept until called for.
Adieu–Dearest, most beloved little wife– Take care of your
health– and don’t think of walking into town. Do write and tell
me how you like our new quarters
Adieu. I kiss you millions of times."
Mozart wrote love letters to Constanze as he created his own music. He had her picture by him at all times
"Let me now turn to Baltimore's aria in a major, "O wie angstlich o we feurig"
Would you like to know how I have expressed it and even indicated his throbbing heart? By the two violins playing octaves.
You see the trembling , the faltering, you see how his throbbing breast begins to swell; this I have expressed by a crescendo.
You hear the whispering and the sighing which I have indicated by the first violins with mutes and a flute playing in unison.
This is the favorite aria of all those who have heard it, and it's mine also."
