The Fair Melusine, a concert overture written in 1834 as a birthday gift for Mendelssohn's sister Fanny, is loosely illustrative of aspects of the legend of Melusine, a water-nymph who marries Count Raymond, on the condition that he never enter her room on a Saturday (on which day she takes on the form of a mermaid).
