O Gluckliche, Reiche, Einzige Tage: Fanny Und Wilhelm Hensels Italienische Reise. Mit Dem Faksimile Der Bildseiten Aus Dem 'Reise-Album 1839 Bis 1840

When Fanny Hensel, sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and her family returned from their journey to Italy in 1839/40 she and her husband compiled a kind of album. Fanny wrote down her compositions on colored paper, her husband drew vignettes that document the place where the piece of music had been composed. Originally the album was for private use only, now its facsimile provides us with a vivid memory of romantic Italian journeys in the 18th century.
