Clara and Robert Schumann were very welcome guests in Fanny Hensel’s Berlin salon. In 1847, Fanny Hensel noted down in her diary: »I see a great deal of (Clara) Schumann, she comes to see me almost every day, and I have grown to like her quite a lot.«

Shortly after Fanny’s death on 15 June 1847, Clara wrote to her friend Elise List: »She was probably the most excellent musician of her time, and an important person for the entire musical life in Berlin – you only heard good music in her house. I had dedicated my trio (op. 17) to her, I expect the printed version any day now, and now she is dead! This event has severely shaken me and my husband!«

The transcription for transverse flute and piano, displays the subtle expressiveness of Fanny Hensel’s works and the Romances by Clara and Robert Schumann to very particular effect. Wonderful salon music with the multi-award-winning specialist for historical flutes, Darina Ablogina, and the renowned pianist Professor Tobias Schabenberger (Musik-Akademie Basel).
