I just came across Mozart's Words, a stunning collection of Mozart's letters (and those of his family). The initial iteration contains 114 letters from 1769 to 1773, specifically from Leopold and Wolfgang's trips to Italy. The letters are presented as facsimiles of the originals; in 18th century and modern German; and in English, Italian, and French translations. The letters can be browsed by date, people, places, and works mentioned. The interface seems remarkably good. Their goal is to eventually make all 1,400 of the Mozart family letters available.
