To gange fuldkommen lykkelig. Constanze Mozarts ægteskaber. Et bidrag til Mozart-forskningen
"Denne bog er inspireret af to tilsyneladende ganske uforenelige interesseområder: W. A. Mozarts musik og den danske udenrigstjenestes historie. Mange læsere vil uvilkårligt spørge, hvordan to så forskelligartede størrelser kan gå op i en højere enhed? Men virkeligheden er undertiden mere fantasifuld end digtningen. Den, der kender lidt til Mozarts liv og værk, vil vide, at de to verdener mødtes i 1797 gennem Constanze Mozarts venskab og senere ægteskab med den danske legationssekretær i Wien, Georg Nikolaus Nissen. Begge kom de til at spille en rolle enten i Mozarts liv eller for hans eftermæle." Viggo Sjøqvists bog om Mozarts kone, Constanze Mozart, fortæller om et vigtigt o...
Nils Svenningsen. Embedsmanden og politikeren. En biografi
Den danske embedsmand og diplomat Nils Svenningsen (1894-1985) spillede en enorm rolle som nærmeste rådgiver for statsminister Erik Scavenius under besættelsen og som leder af embedsmandskollegiet, der i den regeringsløse tid mellem 1943 og befrielsen i 1945 forsøgte at få Danmark så sikkert som muligt igennem Anden Verdenskrigs sidste farlige fase. Han er endnu den dag i dag en kontroversiel skikkelse, idet hans forsøg på at handle, som han mente var bedst for Danmark, flere gange kom i modsætningsforhold til danske toppolitikere og modstandsbevægelsen. Viggo Sjøqvists biografi om Nils Svenningsen tegner et portræt af denne usædvanlige mand, der, skønt han ikke var folkevalgt...
Constanze, Mozart's Beloved
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
