Jenny Lind (1820-1887)
¹ "This biography is a novelty in the book market
not only because of the beautiful quality of the
publication, but also because of content".

Citation from Chopin in the World (2004).

² Jenny Lind sang the love song to Chopin's Mazurka
twice for Queen Victoria in 1855-1856.  >> YouTube.
Jenny Lind's wish of Chopin being recognized as one
of the greatest composers has obviously been fulfilled.
His music was not well known in Poland in the 19th C.
