Few people know that Mozart had a talented sister! Meet Maria Anna Mozart
Maria Anna Mozart, nicknamed Nannerl, was the elder and only sister of the great Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She was born on 30 July 1751 in Salzburg, Austria and was, it appears, like her younger brother, a real Prodigy. However, her musical career was quite different. The website talks about the mysterious and talented, but little known sister of the great Mozart.
The source of the photos: Kulturologia.ruLeopold Mozart was court musician and father of two dear children, Wolfgang and Nannerl — began studying music with his son and daughter, when she was at a tender age. Nannerl learned to play the harpsichord when she was 7 years old. She and her younger brother, played the most difficult pieces of music and at the hearing could play any tune that he heard at least briefly. For more than three years she toured with her little brother in many European cities, from London and Paris to Munich and Vienna, and has been widely recognized as one of the best pianists of his generation.
In his letter of 1764, Leopold wrote: "My little girl plays the most difficult jobs you can imagine... with incredible accuracy. Maria Anna, although she is only 12 years old, is one of the most skillful pianists in Europe." Tour of Maria Anna Mozart ended when she was eighteen. From 1769 she was forbidden to speak with his brother, as she reached marriageable age. She moved to Salzburg to his mother and never went on stage.
Sylvia Milo, who wrote the play "the Other Mozart" and has long studied the life of Mozart's sister, said in an interview with the Huffington Post, Mary Anne simply left in the shadow of his brother, but actually was brilliant: "Imagine an eleven year old girl who takes the most difficult sonatas and concertos of the greatest composers, on the harpsichord or piano, with incredible ease and precision and with impeccable taste."
It is known that in Mature years, Mary Anne has written several musical compositions, which were sent to his brother. The songs our time is not reached, but a known reaction to them Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who said he did not expect that his sister could have written this.
We know that Mary Anna fell in love with Chamberlain Franz Armand d Ippolito, but the father insisted that the girl rejected the offer hands and hearts of the beloved. Mozart-the eldest daughter got married the magistrate Johann Baptist von Sonnenburg, who by that time already twice widowed and had five children already. During the married life of Marie Anne bore her husband, who was older than her 15 years, has three children. When in 1801 her husband died, Maria Anna returned to Salzburg, where she worked as a teacher of piano. Gradually her health deteriorated. In 1825 the elder sister of Mozart was blind. At that time she was 74 years. Four years later, on October 29, 1829, Maria Anna Mozart died at the age of 78 years. She was buried in the cemetery of St. Peter in Salzburg.
