Life
Fanny Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg, the oldest of four children. She was descended on both sides from distinguished Jewish families; her parents were Abraham Mendelssohn (who was the son of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and later changed the family surname to Mendelssohn Bartholdy), and Lea, née Salomon, a granddaughter of the entrepreneur Daniel Itzig. She was not however brought up as Jewish, and never practised Judaism, though it has been suggested that she "retained the cultural values of liberal Judaism". She was the sister of the composer Felix Mendelssohn.

The Easter Sonata was attributed to the composer Felix Mendelssohn, although musicologists suspected that the manuscript may have been written by his sister Fanny, herself a pianist and composer but whose vocation was thwarted by her family. The disappearance of the manuscript for many years made it impossible to substantiate this thesis. The manuscript was rediscovered by the bookseller Marc Loliée, who immediately gave it to the current owner. At the time, it seems that it was sold as if it was in the hand of Felix Mendelssohn. Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847), before her marriage to the painter Hensel, mentioned in several letters a sonata she had written, now identified with our manuscript. One hypothesis suggests that it might have been a farewell gift to her brother Felix. The manuscript, composed of 17 pages, is dated 1828, one year before its first mention in Fanny's diary under its title of Osternsonate. This four-movement piece in A major, played in 1972 by pianist Eric Heidsieck, is a world premiere.
Eric Heidsieck: "It is every performer's dream to be the first to transmit a composer's work to the public (imagine the emotion of a Czerny suddenly facing the Appassionata). Now, all things considered, and by an incredible coincidence, I find myself, 144 years after its composition, the unexpected "dedicatee" of an authentic masterpiece by Fanny Mendelssohn. Indeed, it is not a work that has lost the public's esteem over the years, but an important manuscript recently found in the home of a descendant of the composer..."
