Selected Piano Works (first edition), Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel. Piano solo

DESCRIPTION
Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys sister, wrote music throughout her life. She originally published her songs and piano pieces under her brothers name, but soon began to use her own name instead, confiding to her diary that I cannot deny that the joy I derive in publishing my own music also increases my good humour. Luckily for us, her great-granddaughter Fanny Kistner-Hensel gave G. Henle Verlag access to a previously unpublished selection of 11 piano pieces, and edited them herself from the autographs. After some early pieces focussing on piano instruction there follows a chronological sequence of personal character pieces such as the Notturno in g minor and Abschiedvon Rom [Departure from Rome], composed from the mid-1830s.
