7. Mozart meets Constanze Weber

Mozart married Constanze when he was 26, having, some years previously been smitten by her sister, Aloysia. Constanze's family was not particularly well-off and Leopold did his best to put Mozart off the idea. They seemed to make a very good couple, and she certainly stayed with him through thick and thin.
