Fanny Hensel
Selected Piano Works
Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s sister, wrote music throughout her life. She originally published her songs and piano pieces under her brother’s name, but soon began to use her own name instead, confiding to her diary that “I cannot deny that the joy I derive in publishing my own music also increases my good humour”. Luckily for us, her great-granddaughter Fanny Kistner-Hensel gave G. Henle Verlag access to a previously unpublished selection of 11 piano pieces, and edited them herself from the autographs. After some early pieces focussing on piano instruction there follows a chronological sequence of personal character pieces such as the Notturno in g minor and “Abschied von Rom” [Departure from Rome], composed from the mid-1830s.
About the Composer
Fanny Hensel
This composer and pianist left behind a substantial oeuvre of around 460 compositions, predominantly songs and compositions for piano as well as several works of chamber music, choral music, cantatas, and an overture. Within the private milieu of the salons held in her parents’ home, she performed (and conducted) her compositions herself; they are in no way inferior to those of her brother Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
