The Marriage of Mozart

About a year after the incident with Aloysia Weber, Wolfgang begins to once again visit the family, who have now moved to Vienna. On December 15th, 1781 Mozart informs his father on his marriage plans, and Leopold Mozart was enraged. He was always against his son's acquaintance with the Webers. Wolfgang thinks his father is being unfair about the whole matter, and leaves Salzburg for Vienna to be married.

On August 4th, 1782 Mozart marries the six-year younger sister of Aloysia in St. Stephen's Cathedral. Leopold Mozart refuses his son's invitation to the wedding, as does Aloysia.

The new couple move into a house in Vienna together, and have six children; two of which survive. The surviving children are named Franz Xavier, and Karl Thomas Mozart. Sickness and poverty plague the family until the day of Wolfgang's death. Seven years after her husband died, Constanze married another man.
