Fanny Hensel (nee Mendelssohn Bartholdy) was known in musical circles of 1830's and 40's Berlin primarily for her "Sonntagsmusik" (Sunday Performances). 249 solos pieces to be accompanied by piano remain today, and given the number of surviving works, is an indication that this was her primary medium of composition. Most works remained in private family reserves until they were dedicated to the Mendelssohn-Archive of the State Library of Berlin - Prussian Cultural Heritage. This marked the "discovery" of Fanny Hensel as a composer. From 1841 up until her death on May 14, 1847, she repeatedly set composition to verses of Eichendorff, both as song and as choral pieces. The verse to the song "Traum" (Dream) was taken from the two poems "Erinnerung" (Recollection) from Eichendorff's collection "Wanderlieder" (Walking Songs) and was most likely composed in 1844. This facsimile is the only know surviving version of the composition.

Environmental factors significantly influence plant growth, with elements like sunlight, temperature, and soil moisture playing crucial roles. Plants respond to these factors through acclimation, showcasing remarkable developmental plasticity. Over time, when immediate responses are insufficient, genetic adaptations occur, transforming transient traits into permanent characteristics. This ongoing interaction between plants and their environment shapes their development and determines their distribution across the globe, highlighting the dynamic relationship between organisms and their ecological contexts.
