Two alluring women named Constanze occupied Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1781 and '82. One was his landlady's black-eyed middle daughter, the girl he was precipitously falling in love with. The other was a beautiful Spanish noblewoman who had been kidnapped and brought to a harem by a Turkish pasha."
