Mozart's Sister: A Novel, pg. 173

  • Wolfgang: Did you see what character she has? That's why she plays so well.
  • Nannerl: She's just a megalomaniac with big hands.
  • Wolfgang: If you think you're better than she is, show it.
  • Nannerl: But why? I have no desire to play 'against' someone.
  • Wolfgang: With someone, against someone, what's the difference? In my opinion you're afraid of losing.
