Mozart's Sister: A Novel, pg. 85

  • Leopold: Just tell me one thing, Wolfgang. Has any music of Nannerl's been published under your name?
  • Nannerl: No, papa! I would never...
  • Leopold: Be quiet!
  • Wolfgang: Everything that has been published is mine, and no one else's.
  • Leopold: You're telling the truth? I cannot tolerate the idea that your work is spurious, do you understand?
  • Wolfgang: I am the first to be careful about the integrity of my work.
