Synopsis

Nannerl Mozart’s twelfth-birthday wish is to become a famous composer. She’s already considered a brilliant musician, touring Europe with her little brother, Wolfgang, and playing the clavier for queens and kings in the great courts. But Papa doesn’t take her seriously as a composer and won’t even teach her to play the violin or the organ. On top of that, Mama usually has a list of household chores for her, and Wolfi always manages to steal everybody’s attention.

Now a Sumach Classic, The Secret Wish of Nannerl Mozart is an inspiring blend of fact and fiction in which Barbara Kathleen Nickel brings the eighteenth-century world of a talented young girl to life.
