Reading through the "Heine in Potsdam" section of Das Lächeln der Zeitung and came across this quote about Heine, attributed by Knobloch to Fanny Mendelssohn:

"Heine is here, and does not please me at all; he is acting affectedly. If he would let himself go, he would have to be the most lovable, mischievous person... if he were to comport himself seriously, seriousness would also suit him well, for he possesses it, but he affects sentimentality, he affects affectation, always speaks of himself and looks at people [to see?] if they are looking at him..."

from p. 43

FANNY HENSEL ~ German composer and elder sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847)

14 November 1805 - 14 May 1847

Fanny Mendelssohn, later Fanny (Cäcilie) Mendelssohn Bartholdy and, after her marriage, Fanny Hensel, also referred to as Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, was a German composer and pianist of the early Romantic era. Her compositions include a piano trio, a piano quartet, an orchestral overture, four cantatas, more than 125 pieces for the piano, and over 250 Lieder, most of which went unpublished in her lifetime. Although praised for her piano technique, she rarely gave public performances outside her family circle.

She grew up in Berlin and received a thorough musical education from teachers including her mother, as well as the composers Ludwig Berger and Carl Friedrich Zelter. Her younger brother Felix Mendelssohn, also a composer and pianist, shared the same education and the two developed a close relationship. Due to the reservations of her family, and to social conventions of the time about the roles of women, a number of her works were published under her brother's name in his Opus 8 and 9 collections. In 1829, she married the artist Wilhelm Hensel and, in 1830, the two had their only child, Sebastian Hensel. In 1846, despite the continuing ambivalence of her family towards her musical ambitions, Fanny Hensel published a collection of songs as her Opus 1. In 1847 she died of a stroke.

Listening to compositions by Fanny Mendelssohn because she would have deserved the world and I'm angry about brilliant women composers being systematically left out of music history and the classical canon
