Mozart: The Story of a Little Boy and His Sister Who Gave Concerts

The true story of the boy who changed music forever. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was just five years old when he composed his first piece. By six, he and his older sister Nannerl were touring royal courts across Europe, performing for empresses, kings, and dazzled aristocrats who could scarcely believe that such mastery could come from such small hands. This is their story: two children whose extraordinary gifts opened doors to a world of music, adventure, and wonder. Thomas Tapper's charming early 20th-century biography captures the magic of Mozart's early years with vivid detail and warmth. Young Wolfgang emerges as both prodigy and playful child, serious about his craft yet still a boy who loved games, jokes, and the simple pleasures of childhood. His bond with Nannerl anchors the narrative, showing how their shared passion for music became the foundation of their sibling connection. Perfect for families wanting to share the wonder of classical music with children, or for any reader curious about how the world's greatest composer first discovered his gift.
