Nannerl Mozart was just as talented as her little brother, Wolfgang, but because she was a woman... As children, Nannerl Mozart and her younger brother, Wolfgang, performed before the crowned heads of Europe. But behind the glamour lurked dark difficulties-the hardship of travel, agonizing bouts of illness, and the constant concern over money. Their father, Leopold, is driven by a desire to bring his son's genius to the attention of the world. But what about Nannerl? Was she not just as talented? In a time where women's choices are limited, what hope did she have of ever realizing her own dreams? Share Nannerl's journey as she discovers her unique purpose.
