Bookroo's summary

Nannerl Mozart dreams of composing music that will echo through history, but her world only sees her as Wolfgang's sister. As she tours Europe, playing for royalty, she battles societal norms and family expectations. Can Nannerl seize her moment and defy the constraints that bind her, or will her dreams be overshadowed by her brother's rising star? Her journey is a symphony of ambition, talent, and the quest for recognition in a world that refuses to listen.

From the publisher

Nannerl Mozart’s twelfth-birthday wish is to become a famous composer. She’s already considered a brilliant musician, touring eighteenth-century Europe with her little brother, Wolfgang, and playing for queens and kings in the great courts. But Papa doesn’t take her seriously as a composer, Mama usually has a list of chores for her, and Wolfi always manages to steal everybody’s attention. Can Nannerl defy everyone’s expectations and capture some of the spotlight that shines on her brilliant younger brother?
