Chopin and Jenny Lind
Chopin's Mazurka / her love song
 The musical drama as book
"Listening to Chopin's music
and recalling his romance with Jenny Lind generates an entirely new emotion.  It could again inspire artists and move the audience."
 Oscar Wilde felt so in 1891.

Icons of Europe's new research (updated 26 Jan. 2010):
"A body of irrefutable proof shows that Chopin
and Jenny Lind developed a close and lasting relationship in 1848-1849.  It's a fact."

"Furthermore, the depth of their secret relationship
is astounding.  Beyond any reasonable doubt:
Jenny Lind was Chopin’s musical and financial benefactor;  she planned three times to marry him
in 1849;  she sang at his deathbed and arranged his lavish funeral;  and she contributed for the rest of her
life to the enshrinement of his legacy."

"Chopin and Jenny Lind's romance has, till today, been guarded as a secret and systematically obscured by manipulated translations and other means which have even injured Mendelssohn's good name.  Why?  It adds weight to the evidence, but the distortion of Europe's cultural heritage is deplorable."
