Featured composer: Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel

June 1, 2018 By Nora Miller Rubinoff 1 Comment

(1847) Hensel, Fanny Mendelssohn. Germany, 1847. [Photograph] Retrieved from the Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/item/2009537803/.
Fanny Hensel, née Fanny [Cäcilie] Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805 – May 14, 1847) had a lifelong dream of being considered a serious composer. It is said that her talent was equal to and perhaps surpassed that of her famous brother, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

Fanny and Felix were children of Abraham and Lea Mendelssohn. When Napoleon’s troops occupied Hamburg in 1811, the Jewish family relocated to Berlin. In 1816, Fanny and Felix were baptized in Berlin as Lutherans, and the family took the surname of Bartholdy.

Abraham and Lea Mendelssohn valued education a great deal. They invested heavily in first self teaching their children, later arranging for tutors and other academic opportunities. Young Fanny’s mother Lea was her first piano teacher. (Lea Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s piano teacher was a student of Johann Sebastian Bach!) At age 13, Fanny could play all 24 Preludes from Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier from memory.

Societal customs of her time restricted women from pursuing musical careers. Women were expected to serve as wives and mothers rather than having occupation outside the home. While her brother Felix traveled and expanded his musical horizons, Fanny stayed in Berlin, continuing her pursuit of music within the confines of home. Her brother admired her work, but took the traditional stance of that time period that women not pursue careers other than being wives and mothers. She did convince Felix to publish six of her songs under his name, in his two sets of Twelve Songs (Opuses 8 and 9).

op. 008., as set by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

  • And’res Maienlied: Hexenlied
  • Erntelied
  • Frühlingslied – Jetzt kommt der Frühling
  • Minnelied im Mai
  • Pilgerspruch
  • Romanze – Einmal aus seinen Blicken

op. 009., as set by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

  • Ferne
  • Frage
  • Frühlingsglaube
  • Sehnsucht
  • Verlust

In exchange, Fanny served as an ongoing sounding board and critic of her brother’s work. Felix referred to her as “Minerva,” after the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, because he deeply valued her insight and musical knowledge.

Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel in 1829. The following year, their only child, Sebastian Ludwig Felix Hensel, was born. An interesting fact regarding the naming of Fanny and Wilhelm’s son: he was named after Fanny’s three favorite composers, in chronological order. Wilhelm was supportive of Fanny’s compositional efforts. Her work was performed alongside that of her brother Felix’s work at private, invitation-only salons held in the Mendelssohn household.

Fanny wrote more than 450 compositions, including chamber music, piano pieces, cantatas, oratorios, and lieder (art songs).

The handiwork of a number of poets were set by Fanny Hensel, including Heinrich Heine, Josef Karl Benedikt von Eichendorff, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Emanuel von Geibel, and Nikolaus Lenau. From the IPA Source database, here are a few selections as set by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel:

Poet Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)

  • Warum sind denn die Rosen so blaß 
  • Schwanenlied
  • Ach, die Augen sind es wieder
  • Allnächtlich im Traume seh’ ich dich
  • Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen
  • Das Meer erglänzte

Poet Josef Karl Benedikt von Eichendorff (1788-1857)

  • Abendlich schon rauscht der Wald
  • Schöne Fremde
  • Morgenständchen
  • Frühling
  • Nachtwanderer
  • Anklänge I
  • Anklänge II and Anklänge III
  • Bergeslust
  • Nach Süden

Poet Emanuel von Geibel (1815-1884)

  • Im Wald
  • Gondellied
  • Im Herbste

Poet Nikolaus Lenau (1802-1850)

  • Bitte
  • Abendbild
  • Vorwurf

Carl Friedrich Zelter, leader of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin (of which Fanny and Felix were a part of), wrote a letter of introduction to the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1816, introducing their father, Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy:

 

 

In a later letter to Goethe, Zelter described Fanny’s playing skills by saying “She plays like a man,” which was considered a high compliment at that time.

Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

  • Wanderlied
  • Erwin
  • Auf dem See
  • Dämmrung senkte sich von oben
  • Der du vom Himmel bist

 

Very few of Fanny Hensel’s compositions were published. Most are only in manuscript form. There are IPA translations of 66 art songs (lieder) as set by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel in the IPA Source database.

Celebrating the birthday of Fanny Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Hensel, born November 14

November 14, 2017 By Nora Miller Rubinoff 1 Comment

Fanny Hensel 1842
Fanny Hensel

Fanny Hensel (née Fanny Mendelssohn-Bartholdy) born November 14, 1805, was a German composer and pianist, and the sister of composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

As a child, her parents kept her performances limited to periodic Sonntagsmusik salons that she and her brother Felix delivered at the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy home, to a selected group of family friends. Her brother Felix was permitted many more opportunities to travel and further educate himself while Fanny was instructed to focus on her future responsibilities as a wife and mother.

Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel in 1829 and in 1839/40, she and her husband traveled Italy for a year. Fanny was incredibly happy, as she finally received recognition for her work outside her family circle, and met many musicians who encouraged her and inspired her creativity. Upon returning home from Italy, she composed her most important piano work, the biographical cycle Das Jahr (1841).

Throughout her life, she was discouraged from publishing her work. Some of her pieces were actually published under her brother Felix’s name. Were she alive today, surely Fanny Hensel would have also chimed in on the #MeToo Movement. Women were not thought to have the intellect to write music and were told they should focus on being good wives and mothers to their children. She must have faced a constant uphill battle against those, including her own brother, who thought she should not publish her works.

From a 1987 New York Times article:

”I think discrimination against women composers still exists because the prestigious conducting positions are still held by men. I think it’s a problem, especially for older women composers.”

– Dr. Marilyn Thomas, professor of theory and composition at Carnegie Mellon University

Fanny Hensel died May 14, 1847. At the request of Fanny’s husband, Wilhelm Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy had arranged for publishing of some of Fanny’s additional works, which happened after Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s death (November 4, 1847). These works appeared in 1850.

In 1987, the Furore Verlag began publishing those of her works which had remained unprinted.

This month, both our founder & principal author, Bard Suverkrop, as well as our business manager, Nora Miller Rubinoff, share a few Fanny Hensel selections from our collection, along with recommended listening links.

Perfect Baritone Recital Selections

September 6, 2018 By Nora Miller Rubinoff Leave a Comment

Georgio Ronconi-baritone
Georgio Ronconi, Italian operatic baritone
Attendees at a vocal recital fall into several categories: fans of the music; followers, family, or friends of the vocalist; those who wish to see or assess the singer’s performance; those who were brought along with someone else to the recital; and those who are needing persuasion.

Therefore, the preparation for a vocal recital – whether it’s a Junior Recital, Senior Recital, Graduate Recital, Elective Recital or some other type of recital performance – should be undertaken with a great deal of care.
