  1. Ah, Aloysia. My first real love, later my sister-in-law, eventually my friend. A first-class singer, a so-so actress, and a terrible gossip!

  2. A gossip! Oh we don't take kindly to those on this blog!

  3. aaah, Aloysia. You can read more about her in "Mozart's Life in Letters". His attachment to the Weber family was so important to him.

  5. She is something. I think I like the overall painting more than her in particular.
