The Story of a Little Boy and His Sister Who Gave Concerts The composer whom we call Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was called Wolferl when he was a little boy. He had a sister, Maria Anna, who was called Nannerl. Nannerl was five years older than her brother. She had lessons from her father on a kind of piano called a harpsichord. Little as Wolfgang was, he would often go to the harpsichord and try to pick out tunes with his chubby fingers. His father noticed that he could remember quite a little of the music that Maria Anna was practising. When Wolfgang was four years old he began to take lessons. While he practised no one ever spoke to him because he was so serious about it. Father Mozart loved both of his children deeply and often played with them. When Wolfgang was nearly six his father took him and Nannerl on a concert tour. Everybody wanted to hear them play and they gave many concerts. He went to many places to play, even as far from Salzburg, in Austria (where he was born), as to Paris and London. When they reached Vienna they played for the Emperor and Empress.
