Before Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart became a legend, there was Maria Anna Mozart — his older sister, and the first musical prodigy in the family. They both toured Europe together, performing for kings and aristocrats across royal courts. Audiences called them the Wunderkinder, child geniuses.  But when she turned 18, it all stopped. She was pulled from the stage because performing wasn’t considered “proper” for women. While her brother went on to perform symphonies that changed history, Maria Anna stayed home teaching, composing, and watching her name fade from the spotlight. She wrote her own music. None of it survives. She inspired her brother. But history gave him the legacy of genius, and Maria Anna became a footnote. #historytok #history #mozart #classicalmusic #music
