Wow, when I said I wanted intelligent questions, I didn't know what I was getting into 
Ehem, I don't think there was any relation. However, there are certain attributes that are shared between Fanny Mendelssohn and the mystery composer, but one can find such shared attributes between pretty much any two people.

Yes, the composer did compose more than one "thing".
