To mark the bicentenary of her birth, Furore Verlag has edited and lovingly produced a volume of selected piano pieces – as a kind of birthday present for future generations, so to speak. In their multifaceted realisation of musical invention, their lyrical and elegiac expression and in the challenges they present for the pianist, each of these pieces constitutes a valuable addition to the repertoire of piano learners, piano lovers and professional pianists alike.

Klavierstücke von Fanny Hensel / Piano pieces by Fanny Hensel
First Publications

Vol 1: Lyrische Klavierstücke / Lyrical piano pieces  1836-39  
Andante con espressione, Andante con moto, Allegro molto vivace ma con sentimento  (3,5’/4,5’/6,5’)(MA Ms. 44) (A. Huber)

Piano pieces which the composer most probably would have indicated as „Songs without words“. Sensitive lines and richness of tone in the piano part are combined to atmospheric sensations. High degree of difficulty.

Vol 2: Virtuose Klavierstücke / virtuosic piano pieces
Etude-Allegro con brio, Allegro di molto, Allegro grazioso
(5’/5’/5’) (MA Ms. 44) (Annegret Huber)

Three virtuoso piano pieces that show the composer’s qualities as a fabulous pianist, but do not - by means of discrete brilliance - neglect musical expression.

Andante espressivo Es-Dur (aus MA Ms.49) (Annegret Huber)

Zwei eher lyrische und zwei virtuose Stücke aus dem letzten Lebensjahr der jung verstorbenen Komponistin verführen zu Spekulationen, zu welchen Ausdrucks­qualitäten der kompositorische Reifeprozess Fanny Hensels noch hätte hinführen können.

The early piano pieces are a choice of technically easy, medium difficult to rather demanding short pieces. In musical respect, every title conveys a very original and atmospheric music. They are very suitable for teaching purposes, because every title affords a playing technique of its own.

The piano cycle „The Year“– quite an obvious subject but still without example in the history of music when it was composed in 1841 – was published for the first time in 1989 and is probably Fanny Hensel’s most adopted work. During the preparation of the 2nd edition presented here, we were surprised to find another source in the form of an illustrated fair copy. This revised version could be used as a valuable basis for the revision. Both the structure of composition, highlighting particularly the contours of the cyclic course of the year, and the piano setting are examples of the composer’s mature personal style. By changing between virtuoso, lyric, song-like and solemn characters, the piece combines various levels of difficulty in an overall demanding piano work. Single pieces from the cycle can well be performed separately.

Fanny Hensel was in her element as a Lied composer. With her singingly eloquent character pieces for piano she became the „inventor” of the genre of the „song without words” – a term which she herself, however, did not employ.
