The Forgotten Mozart Maria Anna Mozart

The Forgotten Mozart

By: LorrayyaWilliams

Maria Anna Walburga Ignacia Mozart a prodigy, but not remembered. Why was she overshadowed by her brother?  Who was she? Maria Anna was the first prodigy in her family. “My little girl plays the most difficult works which we have … with incredible precision and so excellently,” her father, Leopold, wrote in a letter in 1764. “What it all amounts to is this, that my little girl, although she is only 12 years old, is one of the most skillful players in Europe.”  He father encouraged her talent, but wanted her to be a wife and mother in her older years. Growing up her family was well immersed in music.  She loved it and was very skilled. She even played a role in her brother’s musical interest. But why aren’t her compositions famous like Mozart?  These question and others will be soon answered.

     Maria Anna Mozart was born July 30, 1751 in Salzburg. Lovingly she was nicknamed Nannerl. She grew up in a loving Christian household.  The Mozart family loved music. She was the eldest child to survive out of infancy. Her brother the more renowned Wolfgang Mozart was five years her junior. Her father taught her to play the piano. She was 8. She was taken on concert tours, but when she began to get older she was left in Wolfgang’s shadow. Lepold Mozart did not believe that women could become composers or great musicians this was the cultural thoughts at the time. As her father he wanted her to become a wife a mother in her older years and not traveling and adeptly playing music.

     Maria was the First Prodigy in her family, but she is not as well remembered. In her child hood she traversed on wonderful tours. But as she began to mature, she slowly began to fade into the background. She was in the shadow of her prodigy brother, whom she helped teach. She kindly assisted him in composing his first symphony. Although Maria Mozart was thought to be one of the finest pianist in Europe, she was not enable to compose music because she was a woman. Sadly, she was reduced from composing Amazing works of art to teaching music lessons. She was forced to stay home while people were awestruck by her brother’s talent. Maria Anna was not even able to pocket any of the money it always spent on her brother and his tours. Even though she was the first prodigy of the Mozart family being a girl held her back from her full potential as a composer and musician.

     Later in Life Maria Anna Mozart was married to Johann Sonneburg in 1783. Her father refused to let her marry her true love, Franz d'Ippold.  Franz was a captain and tutor. She respected his wishes and married Johann. Johann had five children from a previous marriage. They had three more children together. Presently she began writing a biography about her brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She collaborated with his wife others who loved him. She died October 29, 1829 St Peters cemetery.

Maria Anna Walburga Ignacia Mozart was a greatly adept prodigy, but she was forgotten due to being a woman. If she had been allowed to soar who knows maybe she would the Mozart we know and love.   She was enchanted with music. Although she did not reach her full potential, she should be remember as a wonderful pianist although she was the forgotten Mozart.

Little Rock Nine

The little rock Nine was a group of brave teens. They were willing to be bullied and beaten so that we could go to integrated schools and homeschool co-ops. They were African-American teenagers who stood up for racial equality. After the Brown vs. Board of Education, southern schools refused to let African-American students attend formly all-white schools. But these teens were willing to
pave the way no matter what the consequence. The names of the little rock nine are Carlotta Walls, Jefferson Thomas, and Gloria Ray ,Paul Laurence, Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Thelma Mothershed, Terrence Roberts, Minnijean Brown, and Melba Pattillo. When they began attending Central high in Little Rock, Arkansas, they were met by irate mobs. This proves that now matter how young or old you are you can make a difference. I encourage you to make a difference serve at a homeless shelter, volunteer at a hospital or animal shelter, collect food for a food pantry. There are so many things you can do to make a difference. I encourage just get out there and do it. Let's go and make a difference for the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:31

New International Version (NIV)

³¹ So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

What do you think about Partisan Elections?

First you need to no what are partisan elections they are elections with political parties like the Democrats or Republican. Most Americans vote based on party it does not matter the candidate. That is why we should abolish all parties. I think it will be a smart decision that will help congress get more done. Instead of in party fighting we can have United States Congress men and women getting along. I hope one day in the future, we will abolish parties and stop partisan elections. This will help the USA be as more cohesive nation that works together. What do you think?

North Korea's human right violations

What do you think about North Korea's human right's violations? I think this is terrible. He spends more money of himself, while he let's his people die. Sadly, many are tortured under his cruel dictatorial tyranny. It would not be a country I want to live. But some think these claims by the UN are over exaggerated. What do you think? From what I know of North Korea I presume they are not. We should pray for the people their that God can open their eyes to his love and that cruelties faced their will come to an end.

This is African-American history month. Also presidents day is this month too. This month we will learn about  African Americans.
Phillis Wheatley was born circa 1753 in Sengal. She is best know as being a poet. At the age of 12 she published her first poem. Before this at 8 she was captured and put on a slave ship and brought to America. She was sold to John Wheatley.  They taught her Greek and Latin  and encouraged her learning. This was due to her being sickly but very smart. So she caught on to school subjects easily. She published her first and only book of poetry in 1773. She married in 1778 to John Peters a free man.

Repsonse to the Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham Debate

What do you think about the Debate? If you haven't seen it look it up on YouTube. Here is the link to the debate http://debatelive.org/
As you know I am a creationist. God created the earth. Bill Nye brought up that the Bible is a telephone game, but when the Bible it is translated it is translated from the original text. So the Bible was not translated through a telephone game. Also I notice Bill Nye made Creationist seem like Ken Ham followers all creationist do not follow Ken Ham. He also made God's word seem like Ham's word. Bill Nye could not prove how thought and emotion came to be , but Ken Ham could with the Bible. Nye also said the Creationist can't be great scientist.  Francis Bacon ,who created the Scientific Method, is a creationist. Ken ham said the radiometric dating is very unreliable unless you know what it started it out as. Radiometric dating makes to many assumptions. For Example, a room has 100 people every 5 minutes one more person comes in. Then two weeks later everyone leaves and then 100,000 people are there. The date they come up with from that equation will be incorrect. What do you think about my response? Bill also made Noah seem like a unskilled ape. We still don't know how the pyramids were formed. He also said that the boat was twisting. Ham refuted by saying that we had the building capabilities back then. Also Nye does not know Noahs skills or adeptness. Who do you think won?
