Answer
No, Fanny's music was not widely published during her lifetime. Despite composing numerous pieces, including lieder, chamber music, and orchestral works, Fanny's music remained largely unknown to the public due to societal restrictions on women composers. Her works were often overshadowed by those of her brother, Felix Mendelssohn, and it wasn't until the late 20th century that her compositions gained recognition and appreciation.
