Secrets of the Dead Key Art

Secrets of the Dead, the long-running documentary series, presents Mozart’s Sister, airing on PBS on Wednesday evening. The episode tells the story of Maria Anna Mozart, the older sister of the composer, Wolfgang Mozart.

Maria Anna, a musical prodigy in her own right, toured Europe with her younger brother during their childhood. However, as Wolfgang’s star rose, Maria Anna was left behind, and her contributions to his early works may have been overlooked.

The episode brings to light controversial new evidence suggesting Maria Anna’s potential involvement in Wolfgang’s earliest compositions. It also highlights an ongoing global search for her own musical creations.
