Her chosen one was the Danish diplomat Georg Nikolaus von Nissen, who was a great admirer of Mozart's work and the author of his first biography, "Mozart's Letters as a Source of biography and Characterization of the Composer." Because of the free language of the author of the letters, which were filled with indiscriminate wit, Mozart's family wanted to burn them. However, Georg recognized the letters as a very important source telling about the composer's personality, and as he claimed: "out of respect for the biographer," he censored them before quoting them in the biography.
