She was a gifted pianist who, whilst known to have appeared publicly only once, performed privately often, including a concert of her own and her brother's music for [[Queen Victoria]]. She was a composer, mainly of [[song]]s, (some written under her brother’s name) but piano pieces and a [[cantata]] survive, and are considered more than curiosities. She was a friend of that other great musical lady of the time, [[Clara Schumann]]. She and Felix were very close and their ceaseless correspondence gives insight into their lives, and society of the time. Her death following a stroke is said to have contributed to Felix’s early death.
