  2. “D minor Opus 11 Movements 2 & 3: Andante Esressivio and Lied: Allegretto” by Fanny Mendelssohn (youtu.be/TZr-2szy_uY?si=oXUyVY) was written between 1846 and 1847 as a birthday present for her sister, and was posthumously published in 1850, 3 years after Fanny Mendelssohn’s death. It’s considered one of her most impressive works.

  3. Fanny Mendelssohn (November 14, 1805-May 14, 1847)🇩🇪 was an Early Romantic era German composer and pianist. Some of her 460 compositions were published under the name of her younger brother Felix-including a song titled “Italien” (youtu.be/7WPY3cLY2RY?si=9oxrS0) which was noted as being a favorite of Queen Victoria. Unfortunately, her career was both cut short due to the misogyny of the time and her untimely death due to a stroke at age 47.

  4. I make the effort explore whatever the #AustralianStringQuartet offer when the come to #Adelaide. In November they introduced me to #FannyMendelssohn. Here they chat with the ABC about, and perform, the last movement of her String Quartet in E-flat major.

    There's five minutes of chat then they play. Really stirring. Worth a listen.
