(2) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. There was another Mozart prodigy: "At twelve, Maria was considered one of the best pianists in Europe." Not only did she tour with her soon-to-be-renowned little brother, she was his inspiration and playfellow. Rusch's text, echoing sonata form, is appropriately bittersweet. A two-page "encore" adds more about Maria. The illustrators evoke eighteenth-century Salzburg in collages of brocades overlaid with painted detail and musical notation. Bib.
