    She composed music, but none of it survives.
    Wolfgang wrote scatological letters to her.
    She was completely subservient to her father Leopold, breaking off her first engagement when he disapproved of the man, and letting him raise her son for two years until Leopold's death.

    At three, Wolfgang began studying music in order to emulate her.
    She was forced to retire as a musician when she reached marrying age.
    Wolfgang praised her compositions in his letters.
