Subj: RE: [kl] Mozart and Weber were related?

<<<wow, I didn't know W.A. Mozart and C.M. Weber were distantly related.
(can't quite make out what the distance would be called, but
interesting!)>>>

They are related only by marriage. Karl Maria von Weber, the composer,
and Mozart's wife Constanze, nee Weber, are first cousins.
