Fanny Hensel born in 14 November 1805 in Hamburg, Germany – she is so talented German singer, pianist and composer, sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy; the grandfather of both of them was the famous Jewish-German philosopher and educator Moses Mendelssohn.

She grew up in Berlin and received a solid musical education from teachers including her mother Burger and Burger Zelter . Her younger brother Felix Mendelssohn , also a composer and pianist, shared the same education and the two developed a close relationship.

Due to the reservations of her family, as well as public persuasion of the time about the roles of women, a number of her works were published under the name of her brother in his collections ” Opus 8″ and “9”.

In 1829 she married the painter Hensel and, in 1830, their only child was born – Hensel… In 1846, despite her family’s continuing valence towards their musicals, Fanny Hensel published a collection of songs as her Opus.The following year, she died of a stroke.

In 1850, the publisher began distributing Fanny Mendelssohn’s un-leased works, starting with Lieder Op.

Beginning in the late 1980s, Fanny Mendelssohn’s music became better known through live performances and new recordings. Her Easter Sonata for, previously attributed to Felix, was written in her name by Lim on September 12, 2012.

Biographical and Musicological Studies

In the 19th century, Fanny was largely considered accidental in the biographies and studies of her brother Felix; usually she was the spokesman for the alleged “feminizing” influence that weakened his artistry.

In the twentieth century, the conditional bond shifted to portraying Felix as a disapproval and containment of his sister’s musical activities, and the “feminizing” accusations against Fanny disappeared. Since the 1980s, Fanny Mendelssohn has been the subject of many academic books and articles.

Kimber believes that “The Tale of Fanny, the” depressed “composer, so easily found its place in the biographies of siblings because of its similarity to the prevailing models for the life of the” Great Composer “[…] based on the romantic ideology of men -artists […. ] Hansel fits neatly into the traditional blend of the suffering artistic genius […] with the modern genus of the main character.

Thus, the two characters [Felix and Fanny] are forced to carry the weight of two centuries of gender ideology. “

Renate Hell-Unruh prepared a catalog of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel’s works, according to which each work can be referenced by its “HU number”.
