This snippet of music is part of the only surviving music by Maria Anna "Nannerl" Mozart.
On July 7, 1770, Mozart wrote to his "dear sister," "I was quite surprised that you can compose so beautifully. In a word, the song is beautiful, and try it more often." Unfortunately, that song, composed by Maria Anna Mozart, has not been preserved. Only a few fragments, which were cut apart in the nineteenth century, come from her only extant composition. This portion of a short piano piece was composed under the guidance of her father. This bookmark highlighting this particular fragment was recently discovered in the Morgan's collection and contains the final measure of the piece.
