00:00The idea that geniuses develop on their own is a mess.

00:08Just the thought of having another Mozart, it blew my mind.

00:12I thought, why do we not talk about her?

00:17Marianne Mozart was very gifted.

00:21Her father at one point wrote that she is one of the finest keyboard players in Europe.

00:26Composing was another way of playing together.

00:35But when Marianne turned 15, she was stopped.

00:38Because if you were performing as a woman, it was equal to prostitution.

00:45In the 18th century, women were expected to be mothers and wives.

00:51We know Marianne composed, but where are her compositions?

00:57People all around the world are searching for her works.

01:00I mean, I like classical music, but I mean, over in Europe, whoa.

01:04They're a little rabid about it over there.

01:08Classical music has this power. 92% of the repertoire is composed by men.

01:16If we don't encourage women now, it repeats.

01:20In her 50th year, Marianne Mozart returned to performing.

01:24I just love this idea that she didn't give up.

01:28She inspired me to compose myself.

01:35Could Marianne have been as brilliant as her brother, if she'd had the chance?

01:42Marianne is one story of many.

01:45The pendulum is last swinging in our direction.

01:51We just want to open the doors of this world, which is so beautiful.
