Throughout his life Mozart was inspired, fascinated, amused, aroused, hurt, disappointed and betrayed by women; and he appeared equally fascinating to them. But, first and last, Mozart loved and respected women. His mother, sister, wife and her sisters; his patrons, friends, lovers and artists; all figure prominently in his life. Jane Glover introduces us to Mozart's mother, Maria Anna and his beloved and talented sister, Nannerl. We meet, too, Mozart's "other family", the Webers: Constanze, his wife, much maligned by history, and her sisters Aloysia, Sophie and Josepha. This is also the story of the women in his operas, all of whom were restrained by the conventions and strictures of eighteenth-century society.
