　　"Today, at 28, the young German Violinist Anner Sophie Mutter is at the top. She gives radiance (光辉) to the music," wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the world's youngest professors.

　　Born in Rhweinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner 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 Anner Sophie has always had a mind of her own. "I longed to play the violin," she said. "It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument." After six months, her parents gave in.

　　The famous violin teacher Ema Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anner Sophie's tutor (家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her on the piano, Anner-Sophie won first prize.

　　In 1974, Ema Honigberger died. Anner Sophie's new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anner Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate (模仿) others. This is one of the violinist's strongest, most distinctive (与众不同的) characteristics today.

　　Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter's performances to one or two a year. "We are glad we went the family road," said her father. "No outsider (外人) can ever have an effect on our daughter's career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to." Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career.
