The Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra plays Fanny Hensel Ouverture in C-Major

Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre Tokyo, Japan

The energetic main theme emphasizes the G that begins the piece, while the lyrical second theme is particularly reminiscent of her brother's work. It begins on a monumental note, even though there is a seamless connection to the previous section: Fanny changes the major chord that ends the exposition to a minor chord. The next quiet section is full of airy, clear textures, and its wide-ranging modulations are similar to Mendelssohn's style.
