"An authoritative new biography." -- Forward.com "At last--an authoritative account of Hensel's life and music. Todd accords Hensel the creative recognition that is long overdue, and builds on his Mendelssohnian expertise to trace the mutually influential relationship between Fanny and Felix. A scholarly tour de force !"-Marcia J. Citron, Author of Gender and the Musical Canon (1993) and Editor of Letters of Fanny Hensel to Felix Mendelssohn (1987) "The author of an acclaimed biography of Felix Mendelssohn, R. Larry Todd has now written what will surely be the authoritative life-and-works study of Fanny Hensel for a long time to come. With his superb insights into the workings of her music, he brings her out of her brother's shadow and enables her to take her rightful place in the sun. This book is an event, one that enlarges our picture of a woman, a family, a place, an era, and an important body of music."-Susan Youens, author of Heinrich Heine and the Lied (2008) and Hugo Wolf and his Mörike Songs (2006) "It is hard to believe that once again Larry Todd has made history with scholarship. Close on the heels of his authoritative biography of Felix Mendelssohn, for the first time we have a comprehensive biography of Fanny Mendelssohn. The biography is magisterial and pathbreaking, replete with a useful thematic catalog of Fanny's compositions. This book represents an indispensable piece of social and cultural history concerning German-speaking Europe before 1848."-Leon Botstein, President of Bard College, Music Director of the American Symphony Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, "An authoritative new biography." --Forward.com"Todd's exhaustively researched and engaging biography will probably remain the authoritative source into the foreseeable future. It has helped to life the "curtain of silence" that kept Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's works in the dark for well over a century." --Chamber Music"At last--an authoritative account of Hensel's life and music. Todd accords Hensel the creative recognition that is long overdue, and builds on his Mendelssohnian expertise to trace the mutually influential relationship between Fanny and Felix.

Most important is the opportunity for new studies of Fanny Hensel's genres and stylistic periods. Todd's descriptions and analyses of the music will serve to widen access to this pivotal nineteenth-century composer. What fine and thorough groundwork!" --Notes"[Todd's] contribution to scholarship on Hensel is immeasurable. Todd combines an in-depth discussion of the music with rich biographical information, and through his book we gain a firmer understanding of Hensel as an independent and creative artist." --Journal of the International Alliance of Women in Music"A work of such erudition and fascinating detail, which vividly evokes the Mendelssohns' interactions with one another and with most of the artistic figures of their milieu. Most valuable are the provocative and accessible analyses Todd provides of Fanny's music." --Opera News"Todd shares his view of his biography as a starting point that he hopes will stimulate more performances of and the publication of a complete edition of Hensel's music. Todd's excellent scholarship, engaging writing style, and enthusiasm for his subject should ensure the fulfillment of his hopes." --Fontes Artis Musicae, "An authoritative new biography." -- Forward.com"Todd's exhaustively researched and engaging biography will probably remain the authoritative source into the foreseeable future.
