Felix Mendelssohn and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel by Isaac, Noah, and Isabelle

Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel
Felix and Fanny were brother and sister.  They were born four years apart.  They were both very good composers and painters.  Felix often said when someone said his music was good, "You should hear my sister."  Felix brought back an interest in the music of Bach.  He thought Bach was a genius.  Fanny had a more difficult time being taken seriously.  She sometimes published her compositions under her brother's name.  Fanny was playing one of her brother's compositions when she died.  Her brother Felix died the same year.  We like them both.  They have good music.  Just listen...
