Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847)
Donald Macleod traces the musical development of Fanny Hensel née Mendelssohn. Whilst Fanny’s famous brother Felix Mendelssohn’s career flourished, the equally talented Fanny was often held back by the conventions of the period and at times, by her own brother.
Despite this, in her final years, Fanny would go on to publish her own music under her married name, Fanny Hensel.
