		Mendelssohn suffered from bad health in the final years of his life, and it is said he was greatly depressed by the death of his sister Fanny in May 1847.

		Mendelssohn was one of the most lovable of men, gentle as his music, pure as the mountain stream.

	NPRN Composer of the Month - Women Composers
		Fanny Mendelssohn's importance as a composer seems to be both hindered and strengthened because of the musical fame of her younger brother Felix 1809-1847), with whom she was very close and to whom she served as advisor and colleague throughout his life.
		Their grandfather, Moses Mendelssohn, was one of the important philosophers of his day who worked toward integrating Judaism and German culture.
		Her brother is sometimes referred to as the "classicist" among the generation of early Romantic composers, and not surprisingly Fanny's music upholds the same values: impeccable craftsmanship, an occasionally Bachian flavor, and clear textures.

	Fanny Mendelssohn
		Fanny Mendelssohn was born at Hamburg, Nov. 14, 1805, in a pretty, irregular little cottage, called Martin's Mill, the balcony of which commanded a view of the river Elbe.
		Fanny's father and mother had been brought up in the Jewish faith, but were extremely liberal in their ideas, regarding the spirit as all, the form as nothing, and they desired to have their children educated as Christians.
		Although Fanny Mendelssohn received a thorough musical education, studying always with her brother, and as earnestly and aptly as he, and although her talent was recognized by the family as being almost, if not quite, equal to his, yet none of them for a moment thought of regarding music as her career.

		Fanny was afforded a deep and penetrating introduction to the world via her comprehensive education and was then denied the opportunity to follow through on her training and participate fully in that world.

		Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel: Piano Trio in D minor, Op.
		The Atlantis Trio's recording of Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn's piano trios, however, is anything but dull, pedantic or mannered: these are moving, forceful, and extremely well-thought-out renderings of two electrifying pieces of chamber music.
		They perform Fanny's lesser-known, but every bit as deft, trio with as much care and enthusiasm as they do Felix's repertoire staple, if not a bit more - the fact that this work is neglected gives them extra motivation.

	Fanny Mendelssohn
		Music was Fanny’s life, and somehow she had to find a way of doing what she loved while being prevented from doing it in public.
		Reciprocally, Felix’s opinion was the most important one to her, and Fanny’s self-confidence could shrink to the point of losing faith in her creativity if she didn’t hear from him for a long time.
		Fanny’s biggest piece - the Piano Trio in D minor (written for her sister Rebecka’s birthday in 1846)- has such a shower of notes in the piano part that when I perform it, I have to get into training.
