Historical jewelry: Mozart's lost love letter achieved record price

A handwritten letter from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart changed hands at an auction for an incredible 440,000 euros! The auction house International Autographer Auctions Europe in Malaga, Spain, announced that the letter that was long considered lost was auctioned far above its original estimate. The contract went to a European bidder after buyers from the United States and Asia had shown great interest. The letter, written in German, is aimed at the publisher Jean-George Sieber and offers rare insights into Mozart's creative work. According to the auction house, the document contains both personal thoughts and initial indications of its famous Haydn string quartet, which also underlines its importance, such as 5min.at reported.

jealousy and passion

But this letter harbors even more than just economic value! Another remarkable letter that Mozart sent to his great love Constanze Weber illuminates his emotional side. In his letter, which is the only one of this kind, he makes Constance reservations and expresses his jealousy because she wanted to move in the society of young people. The "calf mass"-a popular but somewhat disreputable game in noble circles-worries him, such as "https://www.heidi-knoblich.de/ärtungschauplaetze/constanze-mozart-geber/aus-mozarts-brief-vom-29.-April-1782" Heidi Knoblich . Mozart's deep feelings are revealed between the lines, which ultimately led to the wedding in Vienna St. St. Stephen's Cathedral only three months later. The passionate language and the blunt expression of his love show how important Constanze was in his life and how he tried to protect this relationship himself by jealousy.
