Evolve Why do we remember Wolfgang Amadeus when his sister seems to have been all but forgotten? When we say “Mozart,” the vast majority of people will think of but one person: Wolfgang Amadeus. History has bestowed him with the title of genius par excellence. In his early childhood, he’d already written outstanding compositions, and his maturity led inevitably into realms of the purest sublime. Less well-known is a parallel life.
