And, if I'm not mistaken, it was around this time he composed his Great Mass in C minor, K.427, as thanks for Constanze's recovery from illness. The Kyrie from this work is absolutely glorious, one of my favourite pieces of music.

It is wonderful isn't it, and I think she was the soloist at the first performance in Salzburg 1783.
