For fans of the "39 Clues" wanting to learn a bit more. Interesting painted fabric illustrations

Biography of Mozart's lesser known sister, Maria, the first musical genius child of the family. Originally, she toured with her brother, before they got a little older and societal rules made his fame eclipse hers. Sad & beautiful.

Beautifully told with each section corresponding to a part of a sonata.

I liked the format of the book and loved the illustrations of collage, fabric, sheet music...The story is good but depressingly realistic about what happened to a girl with talent. Her enduring love of music keeps it going though.

This was all totally new to me, but interesting and heartbreaking

Gorgeously illustrated biography of Wolfgang Mozart's older sister Maria. I loved the illustrations, which incorporate collaged sheet music (by Mozart of course) and brocade/tapestry-like fabrics that match the clothing of the time. I didn't know anything about Maria Anna Mozart, so the story was fascinating. Also liked the section headings that were in musical terms ("Crescendo" etc).

In my years of musical education, I was not aware that Mozart had a sister, or that she was as gifted musically as he was. I enjoyed this story of what her life was like.
