It's Woman Composer Wednesday! This week's feature is Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel. You may already be familiar with the music of her brother, Felix Mendelssohn. Fanny was a fantastic composer and piano player but due to gender expectations of the 19th century, Fanny was discouraged from a career in music whereas Felix was encouraged. Fanny loved the music of Bach and he was a source of inspiration for many of her pieces. In her life, she composed over 460 pieces, including "Songs without Words," a genre that Felix is famous for. However, it is now believed that Fanny pioneered the genre. Today's listening is one of these pieces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74aUFgbUN1Y To learn more about Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's music check out this article from Classic FM: https://www.classicfm.com/disc/fanny-and-felix-mendelssohn/
