When Maria Anna Mozart practiced piano, her little brother would snuggle in the folds of her skirt, until one day, he reached for the keys. Soon, Maria and Wolfgang were performing all over Europe. By the time she was twelve, Maria was one of Europe’s best pianists. The children were best friends, but soon Wolfgang was touring alone. For the Love of Music (Tricycle Press, $16.99), Maria continued to compose and play all her life. Elizabeth Rusch’s portrait of this little-known musician is based on the Mozart family’s letters. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher’s rich collage illustrations incorporate reproductions of original sheet music. Ages 7-10. HWP
