Anna Maria Mozart

'Anna Maria Walburga Mozart' née 'Pertl' (December 25, 1720 — July 3, 1778) was the mother of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Maria Anna Mozart.
She was born in St. Gilgen, Austria to Eva Rosina and Nicolaus Pertl, deputy prefect of Hildenstein. She married Leopold Mozart in 1747. They had seven children of which five did not survive infancy. Their daughter, Maria Anna "Nannerl" Mozart, was a talented musician whose abilities were quickly overshadowed by the achievements of her younger brother. Both children were taken on tour around Europe by their father.
Anna Maria Mozart accompanied her son on several tours, including when her husband was not given leave to travel by the Archbishop of Salzburg.
She was not noted for her own musical talent although she was married to a composer and violin teacher of international repute and the mother of two prodigiously talented children.
Anna Maria Mozart died of a fever on July 3, 1778, during a tour of Paris with her son.
