His Mozart biography
Mozart's widow Constanze made many documents available to him for his research. Constanze Mozart (born Constanze Weber) ( 5 January 1762 in Zell im Wiesental, Germany &ndash 6 March 1842 His book Leben des k. k. Kapellmeisters Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart was published in 1798.

Niemetschek claimed to have had a long association with Mozart, but the lack of direct quotations or citings of personal conversations makes modern scholars wonder whether his claims were possibly exaggerated. However, he welcomed Mozart’s two surviving sons into his home in the Lesser Quarter and became a foster father figure to them.
As the biography makes clear, Niemetschek was very proud of his Czech nationality, and he strongly emphasizes the warm reception that Mozart received during his visits to Vienna. See Mozart and Prague. The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is often said to have had a special relationship with the city of Prague and its people
Based on research by Austrian scholar Walther Brauneis severe doubt has recently been cast on the veracity of Niemetschek's claim that he actually made Mozart's personal acquaintance. [1]
