Happy Birthday Fanny

Fanny Hensel geb. Mendelssohn
née 14.11.1805 in Hamburg, died on 14.5.1847 in Berlin
“Without a doubt, Fanny Hensel was the most important composer of the 19th century.” (MGG, Vol. 16)

Fanny Hensel grew up in a well-off and educated Berlin family. Early on, the banker Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy and his wife Lea also recognized Fanny’s extraordinary musical talent, so that Fanny, like her brother Felix, was taught by the best accessible teachers. Abraham Mendelssohn engaged Carl Friedrich Zelter, director of the Berliner Singakademie and friend of Goethe, for training in music theory and composition. Soon Fanny was known among the Mendelssohns’ circle of friends and acquaintances not only as an outstanding pianist, but also as a composer of songs and piano pieces.

In his obituary, published shortly after Fanny’s sudden death, the Berlin music critic Ludwig Rellstab writes that she shared with her famous brother “also the sisterhood of talent” and “reached a degree of education in music that not many artists for whom art is their exclusive …

Barbara Heller celebrates her birthday: A life for music

Sabine Kemna2022-11-03T12:47:21+01:003. November 2022|Current Posts|

Composer Barbara Heller celebrates her 86th birthday on November 6, 2022.
Barbara Heller’s language is music. She formulates everything in notes: thoughts, notes, letters, diaries. Born in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in 1936, the composer has spent her life trying to bring image and music together. In her parental home she was less interested in music than in the visual arts. Her father was a church art restorer and “Heller church painting” was well known in Ludwigshafen for generations. Barbara Heller studied music in Mannheim and Munich, and from 1958 to 1962 she taught piano at the Mannheim Music Academy.
In 2019 she received the Darmstadt Music Prize.
One focus of Barbara Heller’s work is piano music. She writes a large number of works for piano lessons, which, in addition to technical skills, also aim to convey general musical knowledge. The fun of playing comes first, in addition there is ample but unobtrusive opportunity for learning. Barbara Heller’s piano pieces should not only be interpreted simply. While “playing” the students also learn how to creatively deal with the music and to do experiments. Many pieces encourage you to change them according to your …
