Mozart's Sister (Ladies of History #1)

3.48 of 5 stars 3.48 · rating details · 828 ratings · 150 reviews

Nannerl Mozart's early days seem to be the stuff of fairy tales--traveling far and wide, performing piano concerts with her younger brother, Wolfgang, before the crowned heads of Europe. But behind the glamour lurk dark difficulties--the hardship of travel, agonizing bouts of illness, and the constant concern over money. Their father, Leopold, is driven by a desire to brin...more

Being a musician myself, I of course was extremely interested in this book. I love historical fiction and I find it interesting to read the possibilities of history. I loved that this book's focus was on Mozart's sister and not directly about Mozart--especially in that she was a musician as well and a very talented one at that. It made me grateful that life is more fair and equal for women in this day and age. Had his sister been a boy, we could have possibly had two "Mozart's" in the history bo...more

As noted by Mrs. Moser and other reviewers, books on Mozart's sister have been sorely lacking. However, details of her life are brought to light in Mozart's Sister. I am an avid reader of anything Mozart and, as a Christian, even more excited to see something related to him published by Bethany House.

I didn't have much trouble getting into the book. What I gradually found grating, though, was her writing style and the phrases she used. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but I found them a bit too modern and cliche for this period.

What I found interesting is Nannerl's narrative changes as she grows. As a child she thinks of much simpler things. As she gets older, you can see her character develop more as her focus changes. Maybe this is a pretty simple effect but I enjoyed being able to recognize it.

Yes, there was much about Nannerl being brushed off as a composer in favor of her brother, but I soon became weary of her mood swings -- in one line she's annoyed over a situation, a couple lines later she's happy about something. This continued through most of the book and I thought by the time she was older, it might have worn off a little bit and she would eventually find a happiness in her situation, even though she wasn't able to become as "musical" as Wolfgang. I agree with another reviewer: the latter part of her life with the romance was much more intriguing and brought the character of Nannerl into her own, especially after she married, and had to suddenly take care of a number of children from her husband's previous marriage. However it was hardly focused on.

I also really enjoyed Mrs. Moser's interpretation of young Wolfgang and his interactions with Nannerl, as well as their tours when they were younger. Another character the author had to flesh out with a lack of sources was Nannerl's mother, and I liked her interpretation of her too. I wasn't too thrilled with Leopold's character. There were just some things that didn't seem to settle right with me, as a Mozart biography reader. But I have to give Mrs. Moser credit, as sources about Nannerl are pretty rare.

And while I don't enjoy being inundated with holier-than-thou characters and hackneyed spiritual speeches (one extreme), there was not much in the way of a Christian focus here (the other extreme). There was a touching scene between Nannerl and a Protestant pastor in England, but beyond that not much else. By the time I finished I was unsure why Bethany House wanted to publish such a book that had so little in the way of Christian character. It ended up feeling like the "religious bits" had been added in as an afterthought.

In any case, this is a good read from the library, but seems a bit trite after a while. However it's wonderful to see a historical figure, otherwise outshone by her brother, brought to light.(less)

Nannerl (mozart's sister) is hard to really like for a great deal of the book. The author wrote in first person from Nannerl's point of view. While I found her to be self absorbed and petulant I gritted my teeth and overlooked it in the beginning because she was a child but 7 years later as a young woman she's still whining about the same things. There were redeeming moments of clarity and even a special moment with God's message to her. But then she falls back on old selfish patterns of thinking. There was way too much of these petulant feelings in the first 2 thirds of the book. She almost always felt sorry for herself and even some of the things I would feel sympathetic about I didn't because she was so obviously trying to manipulate sympathy. Her sad moan that her dad was this way sigh but she was dutiful sigh....It was aggravating! I do recognize that as she matures she learns to deal with these emotions much better. But too much of the book focused on her poor pitiful me voice!
I really liked learning the fact Mozart had an amazingly talented sister. I also liked the few historical tidbits that I could toss in with things I'm learning while reading a biography on Marie Antoinette, who the Mozart's preformed for before she became queen.
Also Nannerl's life becomes more interesting as she develops interests and less moping. Her life circumstances certainly were frustrating and I was sad for the way things seemed to conspire against any of her desires. But at this point she's able to find contentment and joy and gratitude in what she does have and what she has accomplished and in her faith and service instead of focusing on all the injustices of her life.
In the end I felt a sense of relief and pride that she's learned to grow up and accept life with more dignity and grace. She learns gratitude too. Though it did seem her feelings for her brother were still ambivalent and detached. I liked the references to faith and God because while a non spiritual person may think its trite someone who has experienced the peace and joy that surpasseth all understanding will understand the grounding hope and direction God's comfort and guidance can give to life even in moments of great personal trial.(less)

This is an interesting portrayal of what it must have been like living life in the shadow of W A Mozart. A talented musician in her own right, Nannerl struggles with her self-worth and frustrated ambitions as her father promotes Wolfgang as the future of the family's success. While the author focused most of the attention on Nannerl, I did like that she also considered how much pressure Wolfgang himself was under to be successful and support the family, so much so that he likely envied his siste...more

Their father, Leopold, is painted as a sinister man in most accounts I've read. He starts off being unlikable in this novel, but about halfway through, he becomes a hero. The person who actually becomes unlikable to me is Mozart himself.

Before I read this, I expected I would be comparing this book to Mozart's Blood by Louise Marley or Booth's Sister by Jane Singer. Having read this now, the comparison to Booth's Sister isn't so farfetched, but I would also add The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and Secrets of the Tudor Court by D. L. Bogdan for the sake of comparison.

Mozart's sister Nannerl is a largely unknown person, and according to the author's note, at the time Nancy Moser wrote this book there were no books about Mozart's sister. So, much like the books I mentioned above, this book is about a little known relation to someone famous. That said, because that person's life has pretty much been determined, the story's arc really has no wiggle room, being based on real events in a person's life, and any blank spots in that person's history is mostly speculation. So I don't really understand the reviews that criticize the book for being dull; for me, this was more about learning how a particular person lived during a particular time in history.

I did find a lot of similarity between this and Booth's Sister in that while the sister is as talented as or more talented than the more famous brother, it is the brother who gets all the play in history, simply because he's male. Also, the brother is the more flawed of the two siblings. In John Wilkes Booth's case, he wasn't as dedicated in acting or as good at memorizing lines, and he was more extreme in his politics and beliefs. In Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's case, he was irresponsible, undisciplined, and terrible with money. It really makes the point that throughout history women have to be three times as good as their male counterparts to get even half the recognition. The woman's talent and skill is always downplayed in favor of the man.

Of course, with universities turning out more female doctors than male these days, it's different now, but it's still remarkable from a historical standpoint.

Outside of that, I really loved the detail about all the travel — all the logistics involved in budgeting and sickness, the trouble with culture shock and keeping up to date with fashion so you fit in, the money changing, the language barriers, and so on and so forth. Moser was incredibly lucky to have access to the letters exchanged among the Mozarts, and I'm so glad she included what she learned of all those neat little details about what they got paid and what they had to buy.

I was also very fascinated by Leopold, Mozart's father — his drive and ambition was incredible, akin to "stage mothers" of today. I can see now how my knowledge of Mozart is no accident; he'd be largely unknown if it weren't for his father.

It's a shame they were all so lousy with money, though, and that Mozart ended up being buried in a communal grave. But it's nice to know that Nannerl didn't turn out so bad.

Is the recognition she (Nannerl Mozart) so longs for the truest measure of her gifts?

This is a question that I believe we all need to ask of ourselves... is fleeting fame or our name in the footnotes of history the truest measure of what God has given us?

MOZART'S SISTER is a beautifully told story from Nannerl Mozart's viewpoint, the long forgotten older sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The story propels the reader back in time and gives us a sneak peak of what life was like for a female during the 18th century. Unfortunately, it's not an easy or charmed life and Nannerl learns early on that being a girl is a severe strike against her, no matter what her musical talent.

This book by Nancy Moser is, obviously, about Mozart’s Sister Anna Maria, who usually went by Nannerl. It is clearly a fictionalized account, but is thoroughly researched so it makes for a lazy way to learn some interesting history.

This book is interesting, specifically in that it paints both Wolfgang and Leopold much differently than any book about this family I've ever read. Leopold begins as the ruthless, cold father we see in other accounts, but in this tale emerges a loving father taken advantage of by a reckless son. I assume this difference comes from the author's research: much of it came from a novel by Ruth Halliwell, who also portrayed the family this way.

While historically interesting due to the subject matter, Moser has an illogical grasp of the female disposition in the late 18th century. While Nannerl certainly existed in her well known brother's shadow as a child, the entire novel (told in first person) is extremely bitter. Rather than telling a story, it seems to document a series of bitterness as Wolfie's success. While it is possible and reasonable to assume that at times, Anna Maria did feel this way, it is disappointing to have this ama...more

This book was really good when it came to historical accuracy and it was well written. I really did like Nannerl, and really did sympathize with her once her father started pushing her aside and focus more on Wolfgang.

You could really see the extreme differences on how each gender was treated in this book. It’s so blatantly different and the gap is so wide especially when Wolfgang and his father go on tour while Nannerl and her mother stay at home. It just did not seem fair as Nannerl is just as talented and gifted with music as Wolfgang but because she’s female she’s expected to give those talents up to get married, and have children. It’s these kinds of injustices that made me angry in the book. It felt that such wonderful talent was wasted and I could not help but get even more angry at her father for pushing her aside, and at her mother for not doing anything at all. However, it was like that back then, so it’s hard to get used to such gender disparity.

I have to admit I hated her father at first. He was the type of parent that lived through their kids and profited from it. However I reserved most of my anger towards Wolfgang. Oh my. What a spoiled piece of...well you get the idea. His ego was as big as the moon (his father helped a lot with that) and he treated the rest of his family like dirt. Once he got even more famous, he suddenly became ‘too good’ to be with his family to visit. What a horrid little creature he was in this book! Towards the ending of the novel he just got worse. Their father on the other hand, I started taking a liking to him. It seemed he finally realized Wolfgang was a jerk after all and treated Nannerl much better.

The writing was excellent throughout the novel, although the plot was a bit slow paced. Nannerl’s faith is admirable yet you wonder if it’s possible for her to just keep relying on her faith for the answer, what if she had decided to take matters into her own hands? perhaps the plot would have a huge change but it might have made it a little more interesting. I really did like the characters in this book despite Wolfgang being a twit. Everyone was exceptionally well written and were well developed throughout the story.

This was a well written historically accurate novel seeing a famous composer through a different set of eyes; namely his sister. It’s a different point of view and despite the slow moving plot, the characters are well written and you’ll find yourself engrossed in this book. It’s well worth the read. (less)

Quotes from Mozart's Sister

“There is much more to playing the clavier than playing written music. Do you realize with accompanying there is often nothing written out but the bass line--the left hand? There might be a few notations as to a suggested harmony, but it is up to me to fill in the music, at the proper volume, style, and harmony for the soloist--often instantly. I've heard it said that Bach questioned wether the soloist or the accompanist deserves the greatest glory.” — 2 people liked it
