In today’s episode, we talk about Maria Anna Mozart, the first Mozart Prodigy. While Wolfgang Mozart is a widely known composer and childhood prodigy, there was another Mozart child that was also declared a prodigy, his older sister Maria Anna. We talk about Maria’s early talent, her family situation, her and Wolfgang’s touring and performances, why she was forced to stop performing music, her later life, why her legacy and music has been erased from history so completely, and how her true story will always be shrouded in myth. We also touch on the women in famous men’s life and how much talent is credited to them.
