Secrets of the Dead
Another Composer in the Mozart Family?
Roughly 700 letters written by members of the Mozart family have been preserved. Siblings Wolfgang and Maria Anna Mozart kept up regular correspondence while he was touring Europe, but only fragments of a handful written by Maria Anna still exist today. In at least one letter, Wolfgang praises his sister’s musical compositions — but written copies have never been found.
