ABRSM 2021-2022 Grade 7, B:5. Mélodie, Op. 4 No. 2~ Hensel. Piano exam piece

Fanny Mendelssohn (14 November 1805 – 14 May 1847), later known as Fanny Mendelssohn Bartholdy and, after her marriage, Fanny Hensel, also referred to as Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, was a German composer and pianist of the early Romantic era. Her compositions include a piano trio, a piano quartet, an orchestral overture, four cantatas, more than 125 pieces for the piano, and over 250 lieder, most of which went unpublished in her lifetime. Although praised for her piano technique, she rarely gave public performances outside her family circle.
Her younger brother, whom she was very close to, was the well known composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn. Due to the reservations of her family, and to social conventions of the time about the roles of women, a number of her works were published under her brother's name in his Opus 8 and 9 collections. In 1829, she married the artist Wilhelm Hensel. In 1846, despite the mixed feels of her family towards her musical ambitions, Fanny Hensel published a collection of songs as her Opus 1. In 1847 she died of a stroke. Since the 1990s her life and works have been the subject of more detailed research. Her Easter Sonata was inaccurately credited to her brother in 1970, before new analysis of documents in 2010 corrected the error. The Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum opened on 29 May 2018 in Hamburg, Germany.

An absolutely dazzling performance once again, thank you for diving deeper into the Grade 7 syllabus for those of us who require it (me included) and for the detailed and comprehensive insight on Fanny Mendelssohn, I did not even encounter her or her works prior to viewing this cover, let alone know she was the sister of Felix Mendelssohn.

It’s beautiful, but it’s a shame they didn’t add this song into the book, my teacher only allows me to choose songs from the book
