| | Sleeve Notes - Fanny Mendelssohn: Songs |
| | Fanny's understanding of both the voice and the piano combined with her natural gift for beautiful melody make her songs gratifying for both performer and listener. | | | Fanny's song is undated, but in all likelihood she would have known the Schumann piece. | | | Fanny Cäcilie Hensel, née Mendelssohn Bartholdy* (1805-1847), has been long and unjustly overlooked as a serious composer, despite a considerable and impressive output comprising numerous piano pieces, innumerable songs, duets, trios, a cappella choral works, chamber music for different instruments, an overture, an oratorio and several major cantatas. |

| | Fanny Hensel Biografie |
| | Her musical activities did not reach beyond the bounds of the Mendelssohn's circle: public concerts and the publication of musical works were not deemed to be womanly activities. | | | Fanny soon became known to the Mendelssohn's circle of friends and acquaintances not just as an excellent pianist but also as the composer of lieder and piano pieces. | | | Restricted to the domestic realm, the majority of Fanny Hensel's compositions were piano pieces and lieder which could be performed in the evening concerts held at the Mendelssohn's home. |

| | Fanny was Felix's elder sister by four years, and like him was a child prodigy. | | | Probably written (when Fanny was 18 years old) for a Sunday Musicale, this 53 bar Adagio is a little musical gem. | | | I have created a programme depicting their familial and musical relationships by putting readings of some of these letters, with some by Felix, mixed with chamber music by both of them. |

| | The name of Felix Mendelssohn is known today, and his musical legacy assured. | | | His daughters, Dorothea and Henrietta, were feminist leaders (after a fashion) of their day, and his son (who left the Jewish faith for Lutheranism and took the Gentile name Bartholdy) was the father of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, two of the most gifted and precocious musical figures Europe has ever known. | | | He was also known as the "Emancipator or the Jews," and his writings and influence did lead the Jewish population out of their medieval isolation, and into the mainstream of German/Prussian society. |
