Fanny Mendelssohn - Piano Sonata in C minor (audio + sheet music)

[@mollymoon9345]

Once Felix Mendelssohn visited the British queen Victoria and asked her to interpret a song of his. She just picked out a song from Fanny, which Felix has published under his name and Felix had to admit, that his sister wrote this song.

[@Z-Bart]

Fantastic. She finally got the credit she deserved.

[@adriatorras8077]

Ray Zickrick She deserves much more credit sir. Sorry.

[@brkahn]

@@adriatorras8077 Yes. She is still on the way of getting it (very slowly).

[@AlejandroSanAntonio]

I really wish many of her works weren't lost. :( Other times...

[@simreagan]

Fraulein Fanny Mendelssohn, today is her birthday and hope her works can get recognized by the world.

[@DEATH14269]

I remember her story. I was taught about her in elementary. I love this songs style its bright and radiant aswell as its dark tones changing momentarily. Beautiful.

[@sorim1967]

What a masterpiece! It is incredible to consider, after decades of listening to music that amongst the great teen-age natural musical geniuses, i.e. Mozart, Schubert and Mendelsohn, it is perhaps the latter one's sister that may have had the most outrageous early natural talent.

Music is not about talent, its about ambient, resources and work.

Talent is nothing without work

[@pilouetmissiou]

Not only ...Helene de Montgeroult wrote really beautiful pre romantic music between 1788 and 1812..... recently discovered by Jerome Dorival.

[@patypersonwright1263]

PASSION AND SKILL ..This Piano Music is outstanding...an art that seems to be lost in modern times. Mother played like this...have so missed this ! She went to Julliard School of Music, in New York. Thank you 💖💖

[@violinmusic5731]

A beautiful piece of music by a wonderful composer and amazing pianist!

[@patrickhorne2078]

The song that starts at 10:30 is magnificent. It is one of my favorites. I think you is the greatest piano player to have ever lived. She is my favorite :) :) :) :) :)

[@smeenasiddiqui2374]

Omg....never before...so beautiful yet so lovely.🏆 5stars.

[@karinlauterbach3157]

Ich habe mehrmals gelesen, Fanny hatte besonders schöne, seelenvolle Augen. Und ich finde, auch in diesem Stück zeigt sie sich als ein seelenvoller Mensch - es klingt so berührend.

[@felixdevilliers1]

Die Schumanns wollten nach Berlin ziehen um in ihrer Naehe zu sein, leider starb sie.

[@meipingni6029]

The shade of Felix can be seen here as well as Fanny gave her own special features as a talented female composer.

This music had been used as example in the italian youtube cultural video "Lezioni di Musica - Le Donne nella Musica" of the channel "musicamonteverde". Is a really very very interesting video.

I love the ending, any else?

There’s quite a lot in this little Sonata and there are a couple of other good recordings that bring out the qualities in it.

[@jimwinchester339]

Wow! Finale very Beethoven-ish. Full of fire, lots of heavy left-hand base, and motion shifting back and forth between the hands.

[@susanlapointe1135]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@catherinejones9396]

Beautiful and so easy to listen to. Thank you. That little Rondo in the first movement was delightful. What a wonderful musician. Was Felix protecting her from publicity back in the day? Cathy

[@thenameisgsarci]

From what I remembered, their father disapproved of her wish to compose as freely as her brother does, so yeah, Felix helped her a lot of times.

[@pilouetmissiou]

​@@thenameisgsarci hum....helped her....not so clear....they were very close yes, but he assumes the position of the father not for compose but for editing her music...

[@kornhillmusicstudio6469]

10:09 there is a G natural played as Gb. Which one is a correct one?

[@marcsmith7789]

Wonderful sonata! I really would like to find the sheet music so I can play through it.

[@appasonata2]

Thank you

[@felixdevilliers1]

Loely music, as inventive and full of gusto as Clara Wieck's teenage concerto. I'd like to know how old she was when she composed this piece.

[@thenameisgsarci]

Must be at a young age, I think.

[@tiffanyelkins278]

I would like to find this sheet music to analyze for a music theory project. Anyone know where I can download and print this online?

[@jonathanDstrand]

IMSLP is your friend

[@terryrodriguez6209]

Like so many other female artists of music, writers, painters, etc. in the past, it’s such a shame she couldn’t take credit where credit was due in her own time. So much talent not celebrated or encouraged due to her sex.

[@bennyksmusicalworld]

I can't tell the difference between Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn by only the description lol

[@samsule8339]

any tips for composing music, I come from house and techno background

[@billiereasoncomposer]

if you already make house and techno, you're already composing! composing doesn't just mean classical, you can say 'composition' for making any genre of music 😊

[@pnocella]

Thanks for posting--Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel's work (and other female composers) should be more well known. However, is this an early work of hers? The themes seem rather circumscribed--and the many 3-note repetitions don't seem to help. Same for the harmonic structure which adheres rather too closely to the C minor/Eb major orbit. Choosing to keep the 2nd movement in the relative major (Eb) seems unimaginative, shows inexperience, and reinforces a certain harmonic tedium. To wit: (I) c minor/Eb major; (II) Eb major/c minor; (III) c minor/Eb major. Perhaps, It might have been better to move to Ab or other related key? In any event, it is still good to have this music available on KZbin!

[@adroharv9213]

@@noahmoment it doesn't work for me personally at least concerning not being especially uniquely identifiable. I'm no expert in classical but I have written now for over 30 years and with the intent to write identifiable lines distinguishable by their uniqueness. I think this has it's own character overall and is not unpleasant though. It's hard to say though of course because the one thing I've learned is music doesn't always appeal straight away and so to judge it after one or two listens can be a little unfair

She clearly wants to express herself harmonically, but this piece is still balls

[@tedpiano]

Lol, the beginning sounds like Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 1 in C minor, Op. 4, CT. 201,

[@NikolaosSkordilis]

Chopin wrote Piano Sonata No.1 in C minor in 1828 (and it was not published until 1851), and this piece was written in 1824, so what you suggest does not add up. Unless Fanny Mendelsshon was a time traveler.

[@5252-d1h]

Do you know the difference between "sounds like" and "is inspired by"?

[@flyingpenandpaper6119]

Frédéric François Chopin It sounds confusing, to say the least.

[@klop4228]

I can't say I'm enjoying the first movement as some other music I've heard, but I don't think it's the worst thing I've heard by a long shot. I just don't like the tune very much. Might also just be the performance. EDIT: The second movement is much better than the first, at least in this interpretation. As is the last movement (though not by as much).

[@noo4449]

@Santino Sardo why?

[@BoopShooBee]

Why do people that never have anything good to say never shutup?

[@tomflores1000]

hmmm, I would argue this recording is more deplorable than her actual work however. There are several instances the pianist completely ignores the ritardandos in the composition-- in the first movement alone dare I say. You could only imagine how much more beautiful this composition would sound if the pianist truly took her music and her soul to heart-- and truly embraced and treasured her writing. Fanny, along with Clara and many other women composers, are very neglected still by classical pianists unfortunately.

[@derby2510]

Boring, and the pianist doesn't do the piece any favors.

[@lewisbae]

was she lazy to put dynamics and slurs? lol

[@klop4228]

That kind of stuff is normally implied by the music itself anyway.

[@klop4228]

​@Lunar Orbit Nah, it's just that the music he wrote was written for musicians to play.

[@alejandracuriel8146]

Lewis Bae that's the editor problem, not her's. If you are a fine musician you'll be able to make the dinamic's.

[@proserpinehymn]

Much of the music she wrote was written hastily so she often left out details.

[@TheMightyFork_]

Boring!!!
