Download or read book Constanze Mozart s Beloved written by Agnes Selby and published by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constanze, the wife of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, was not the foolish and self-interested individual of popular opinion, much of which is based on the views of Mozart's father, who believed that his son had chosen an inappropriate partner. This strong-minded woman was, however, to be of critical support to her beloved husband. From a family of accomplished musicians, she was possessed of a fine voice and sang in public performances of a number of Mozart's works, both before and after his death. She bore him six children, of whom two survived childhood. Her business acumen was such that after his death she was largely responsible for keeping his music before the public, organising concerts, securing the accurate publication of many of his works, including the Requiem, and acquiring patronage from the aristocracy. Her second marriage to the Dane, Georg Nikolaus Nissen, continued a life story which is a rich example of self-sufficiency and competence in an era when a woman in business was a rarity. Importantly, this book restores the reputation of a woman much maligned by history. Revised edition
Download or read book Mozart and Constanze written by Francis Carr and published by Avon Books. This book was released on 1991-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historian Francis Carr examines Mozart's life from the time he met and married Constanze, a marriage to which Mozart's father was positively hostile. Carr looks in detail at the circumstances of Mozart's early death and hasty funeral and concludes foul play. Mozart was poisoned, he argues, and rushed to an unmarked grave to avoid autopsy and the subsequent sandal that would expose the murder that resulted from Mozart's adulterous affair with one of his favorite pupils."--Back cover

Book excerpt: The Indiscerniblity of Identicals is the principle that if two objects are absolutely identical then they must be indistinguishable from one another with respect to all of their properties. But does that include the context of the identical objects? The notion of identical gives rise to many philosophical problems, including: 1. What does it mean for an object to be the same as itself? 2. If x and y are identical (are the same thing), must they always be identical? Are they necessarily identical? 3. What does it mean for an object to be the same, if it changes over time? (Is applet the same as applet+1?) 4. If an object's parts are entirely replaced over time, in what way is it the same?
