About
It does not appear that the Mendelssohns were able to enjoy Heine's kinder side. Although Heine was sometimes a visitor at their home in Berlin, somehow friendly relations did not develop. However, the poet Heine held Fanny in high regard. She had already set his poems "Was will die einsame Träne" (Why this solitary tear) and "Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen" (On a radiant summer morning) to music in 1827/28. Her song setting of Heine's "Schwanenlied" (Song of the Swan) was her first published work, but this only happened in 1846. At first Fanny chose to set poems by her bridegroom Wilhelm to music, of which she had already composed "Lebewohl" (Farewell) the same year they met and before the wedded couple were separated for a long period. Upon getting married she, too, began a busy and fruitful artistic collaboration that involved the daily morning ritual of Wilhelm leaving poems on the piano for her to set to music.
