A Very Different Drummer: The Mother of Mozart
Anna Maria Pertl expects a modest life in Salzburg - marriage to a court musician, a household to manage, children to raise. But destiny has a different rhythm.
Of seven children born to Anna Maria, only two survive: the talented Nannerl and the youngest, Wolfgang. At just three years old, Wolfgang reveals a gift that will rewrite history, and Anna Maria is swept from provincial Austria into the glittering, relentless courts of 18th-century Europe.
As her son's childhood becomes a public spectacle and her family transforms into a traveling enterprise, Anna Maria must navigate the treacherous waters of ambition, politics, and pride. When the world begins to whisper the name Mozart , she finds herself at a heartbreaking crossroads: compelled to leave one child behind to follow the uncertainty of another's genius.
A Very Different Drummer is a sweeping work of historical biographical fiction that explores the woman behind the legend. It is a poignant story of motherhood, the heavy price of sacrifice, and the making of the world's greatest musical prodigy.
