2. Nannerl Mozart - the sister
Four and a half years older than Mozart, Nannerl was a very good piano player and used to tour with her younger brother as part of the Amazing Mozart Roadshow, often playing in the same concerts. Mozart wrote her countless letters, many of which still survive today. Nannerl was actually her nickname — her real name was Maria Anna. (DPA DEUTSCHE PRESS-AGENTUR/DPA/Press Association Images)
