Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel is the older sister of the well-known composer Felix Mendelssohn. Often attributed to be a greater pianist than he, Hensel wrote many works for the piano, as well as some chamber music, cantatas, and oratorios. Due to the complications surrounding women composers at the time, much of her music was published under her brother's name.Looking for more easy piano versions of works by historical women composers?
