Easter Sonata

It was lost for 150 years and when found attributed to her brother Felix, before finally being recognized as hers.

The Easter Sonata was not published, but is mentioned as her work in her diary and letters written to her family members in 1829.

Some musicologists suggested that the piece might be by Fanny Mendelssohn, but the proposal was not seriously considered by most because of the lack of a known autograph manuscript.

[4][5][6][3][7][8][9][10][11] In May 2020, the Easter Sonata was recorded under Fanny Mendelssohn's name for the first time by pianist Gaia Sokoli (Piano Classics, 2021).

The sonata depicts the Passion of Christ and the second movement contains an "ecclesiastical fugue".
