Description

Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (1805-1847), the sister of Felix Mendelssohn, was a highly skilled pianist and a composer of significant talent, known for her songs, chamber compositions, and choral pieces. However, her lasting legacy as a composer is primarily associated with her piano works. This volume represents the inaugural American publication of her notable early compositions, reproduced directly from rare first editions. It features Vier Lieder, Op. 2, Op. 6, and Op. 8, along with two selections from 6 Melodies, Op. 4 and Op. 5. Dover Original.

Hensel: Selected Piano Works

Author : Fanny Hensel

Description

Fanny Hensel, the sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, composed music throughout her life. Initially, she published her songs and piano pieces under her brother's name, but later began using her own name, confiding in her diary that "I cannot deny that the joy I derive in publishing my own music also increases my good humour." Fortunately, Hensel's great-granddaughter, Fanny Kistner-Hensel, granted the G. Henle Verlag access to a previously unpublished selection of 11 piano pieces, which she then edited herself from the original manuscripts. The collection spans Hensel's compositional development, beginning with early instructional works and transitioning to 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 onward.
