The Mozarts!

Father Leopold Mozart was the "manager" of the family. He recognized his children's talent early and encouraged it. It was also thanks to his ambitions that Wolfgang Amadé soon became known throughout Europe as a child prodigy - the foundation of a great career.

The mother, with her humor and loving nature, was considered the center of the family. Anna Maria also enjoyed complete trust in organizational matters. If the family was traveling, she planned the family's financial fortunes from Salzburg. 

The child prodigy from Salzburg, later the greatest composer of all time. We know from the countless letters from the family: Wolfgang was not only talented, he also had a great sense of humor and was extraordinarily interested in many areas. 

Mozart's older sister traveled with him in his youth and was an exceptionally good pianist and singer. While her talent was initially encouraged, she was later forced into a conservative role model and had to give up her passion for music.

Leopold Mozart was an outstanding pedagogue of his time. Although he never completed his studies, his publication "Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule" was a standard work that is still held in high esteem today. Music was omnipresent in the Mozart household. 

Wolfgang and his sister Maria Anna were very close. The two were connected by their humorous nature and also by their enthusiasm for music. Mozart even wrote some of his best and most complex piano works just for himself and his beloved sister.

Melancholy is inherent in the large family portrait. The mother had already died unexpectedly in Paris in 1778, Wolfgang soon went to Vienna. Maria Anna was married to St. Gilgen and the father remained alone in Salzburg, the intimate family ties were a thing of the past.
