Abstract:
This is a diary with day to day entries throughout 1848 and early 1849. Entries range from the mundane (“today migraines”) to the historically significant (“loud unrests in the streets”.) A recurring theme are prayers for Henriette’s son, Alexander; also mentioned are private chamber concerts with premiere performances of compositions by her nephew, Felix (Mendelssohn-Bartholdy; he had died in 1847.)
