To everyone who has heard of my famous younger brother, Wolfgang, but has never heard of me. Maria Anna "Nannerl" Mozart makes music fit for angels. Songs pour from her like water over the Austrian riverbanks in springtime. When she and her brother play the harpsichord together, she feels confident and carefree. But everything changes when Wolfgang plays a sonata Nannerl has composed. Papa fumes. Girls are not allowed to compose! Girls belong behind the curtain! Nannerl is pressed into a marriage after she turns eighteen that stifles her song, but her creativity and love for her brother still soars. With vivid, evocative art by Adelina Lirius, author Audrey Ades tells a powerful story about music, feminism, ambition, and the girl who was and always will be a Mozart.
A must-buy for any collection. Not only is this a story that needs to be shared, but the back matter educates young readers on critical reading distinctions. -- School Library Journal, starred reviewThis empathically rendered portrayal of a lesser-known musical wunderkind, with fanciful gouache and digital art by Lirius that visualizes music' s flow, highlights the figure' s talent and passion while asking whether her legacy could have been more extensive. -- Publishers Weekly
