Today on the Podcast, Sadie introduces us to Fanny Mendelssohn, an 18th-century composer, and pianist. Although Fanny is often overshadowed by her brother who was able to pursue music, Fanny was able to rise above the gender constraints of the time and become a recognized prodigy and composer. We talk about her wealthy family and her early life as a prodigy. We also discuss her slow-burning career, her marriage to a painter, her brief friendship with Clara Schumann, and much more! Episodes like this one: <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/clara-schumann-a-piano-prodigy-virtuoso-romantic-composer">Clara Schumann</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/nora-holt-the-harlem-composer-critic-wild-socialite">Nora Holt</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/nadia-and-lili-boulanger-sister-composers">The Boulanger Sisters</a>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/morethanamuse.podcast/">@morethanamuse.podcast</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to MORE THAN A MUSE, a weekly podcast where we explore the lives of women artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, and more. Join Stauney (a graphic designer) and Sadie (a singer-songwriter) EVERY MONDAY as we reframe art history and pop culture with feminism, empowering women to be educated, unapologetically angry, and champion those whom history has forgotten. Through in-depth historical discussions and pop culture chats, we spotlight unsung heroines, all while challenging the status quo. It's time to remember every woman artist as 'More Than A Muse'.
