The Easter Sonata is one of Fanny Hensel’s greatest works, believed to be lost, then mistakenly attributed to her brother Felix Mendelssohn, and finally correctly attributed to Hensel in the 21st century. The work is in four movements:

The first movement—Allegro assai moderato—is in sonata-allegro form in A major, and the influence of Beethoven is apparent. The second movement—Largo e molto espressivo—in E minor, in prelude-and-fugue form, and quotes the St. Matthew Passion. The third movement—Allegretto—is a scampering Frühlingslied (spring song), primarily in E major. The finale—Allegro con strepito—is a turbulent movement in A minor which depicts the earthquake at the moment of Jesus’s death, followed by an A-major chorale on Bach’s “Christe du Lamm Gottes” (BWV 23).

Two of Fanny Hensel’s little-known keyboard fugues, arranged for string quartet by Henselpushers.

The Fugata (H193) [listen here] dates from 1827 during Hensel’s neo-baroque period, while she and her brother Felix were deeply immersed in J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion leading up to the famous Bach revival of 1829. It is a fascinating double fugue with contrasting subjects and clear Bachian inspiration.

The Fuga (H273) [listen here] was written about seven years later, and has some similarities to the finale of Beethoven’s piano sonata op. 110. In its string arrangement, the subject is reminiscent of another work: Robert Schumann’s piano quintet op. 44, which was composed 8 years after Hensel’s fugue.

In order to make this incredible work accessible for pianists of a broader range of levels and experience, HenselPushers has created this arrangement of Fanny Hensel’s Das Jahr, which preserves the character and key themes of each of the pieces, but presents them at an easy piano level.

As of January 2025, these two books are now available as instantly-downloadable studio-licensed PDFs.

Music book: Easy Piano arrangement of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel’s Das Jahr, a cycle of character pieces celebrating the months of the year. This arrangement is based on the 1842 version and includes all 13 pieces in the cycle (the 12 months of the year and a postlude), which have been simplified and shortened in length. This arrangement is loosely progressive, and ranges from early-intermediate to mid-intermediate level.

Lesson book: Companion book of lessons associated with each arrangement in book 1. The lesson book offers lessons on technique and performance to support pianists as they learn to play the pieces in the music book. The lesson book includes a lesson for each song in the cycle and is intended to be used as pianists begin to learn each of the pieces in this book. The lesson book can be used by piano students of any age with their teachers, or by adults for self-study.

Each lesson addresses various aspects of technique and performance, but does not delve into music theory. Each lesson includes:

• Explanations of musical terms and symbols that may be unfamiliar

• A walkthrough to help students orient themselves to the structure and flow of the piece

• Exercises to become familiar with techniques in the piece

• Themes and frameworks to prompt thinking about interpretation of the piece

Check the January arrangement and lesson to see if this level is what you are looking for

The files are immediately available after your purchase. You will receive a link to the PDF which is available for 24 hours after the first download. This download consists of a 22.7 MB zip file containing two PDFs: the the music book (33 pages, 8.3 MB) and the lesson book (87 pages, 15.9 MB).

This studio-licensed product may be printed and distributed on paper to students within one studio. No portion thereof may be reproduced or used in any other manner whatsoever without the express written permission of the publisher. By purchasing this product you acknowledge these terms.
