Have you ever looked inside a piano? It’s no simple instrument. You’ll find dozens of tiny hammers and wire strings. Join Anna and Leo as they learn about one of history’s most fascinating piano builders–Nannette Streicher. This talented musician overcame the odds to own a piano factory at a time when few women ran businesses. She also brushed shoulders with some of the world’s most famous composers. Have you ever heard of Mozart? How about Beethoven? Well, Mozart and Beethoven would have a story or two to tell about Nannette Streicher.

Get ready, young historians! We’re about to go on a musical adventure.
