Nannerl Mozart

Nannerl Mozart was the older sister of the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She was a talented musician herself, excelling in keyboard playing and composition during the 18th century. Despite her skill, societal norms limited her opportunities, especially because women at the time were often discouraged from performing publicly. She traveled and performed with her brother in their youth, showcasing her musical talent. Nannerl’s contributions highlight the often-overlooked role of women in early classical music history and serve as an example of a gifted musician navigating the restrictions of her era.
