Fanny's Year-End

on: October 13, 2004, 03:22:23 PM

Have any of you learned/performed Fanny Hensel-Mendelssohn's The Year (Das Jahr) and what are your opinions?

What delightful little pieces! Great for anyone looking for small, flashy pieces that clock in ~3-5 minutes each. I am newly exposed to this wonderful cycle of hers and particularly fond of the end piece, December (a snowstormy etude).

Sorry about the title of this topic --- sometimes when it's right over the plate, you gotta swing...
