Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. It came as no surprise when Anne-Sophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anne-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. I longed to play the violin, she says, It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument. After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberfer, who lived nearby, became Annie-Sophies tutor. After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians.
