Maria Anna [Nannerl] Mozart: The First Prodigy

The Classical Music Minute

Description
The young virtuoso, Maria Anna Mozart, nicknamed Nannerl, was quickly overshadowed by her brother, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, five years her junior. But she was nonetheless a child prodigy. Take a minute to get the scoop!
Fun Fact
As a trusted friend, family member and intimate music-making partner, Nannerl could have been exactly what Wolfgang needed to make the leap from sonatas to symphonies. As one scholar put it, “They probably had lots of discussion about what he was doing. I’ll bet she not only reminded him about the horns but also suggested some things for the horns and for other parts of the composition as well.”
