Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia "Marianne" Mozart (30 July 1751 – 29 October 1829), often nicknamed Nannerl, was a highly regarded musician from Salzburg, Austria. Already in her childhood, she established a remarkable reputation for herself across Europe as a child prodigy. However, her musical career was terminated by her parents, who forced her to stay in Salzburg and look for a future spouse. This did not stop her from utilizing her love and talent for music to teach the piano, as well as writing her own works, though no manuscripts are extant. Her younger brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was said to have been greatly influenced by her.
