Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period.

Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Mozart is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".

Already in her childhood, she established a remarkable reputation for herself across Europe as a child prodigy.

This did not stop her from utilizing her love and talent for music to teach the piano, as well as supposedly writing her own works. Her brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was said to have been greatly influenced by her.
