Nannerl Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's sister, was also a musical genius. This is the story that could have been... Nannerl Mozart's twelfth birthday wish is to become a famous composer. She's already considered a brilliant musician, touring Europe with her little brother Wolfgang and playing the clavier for queens and kings in the great courts. But Papa doesn't take her seriously as a composer and won't even teach her to play the violin or the organ. Mama usually has a list of household chores for her, and Wolfi always manages to steal everybody's attention.
With a combination of historical fact and imaginative speculation, this fascinating novel explores Nannerl's painful dilemma as she watches all the accolades go to her younger brother 'Wolfi' but refuses to abandon her dream of composing her own symphony."" Chatelaine
