The singer and composer Pauline Viardot, who was a piano pupil of Franz Liszt, had the opportunity to meet Frédéric Chopin – Clémence de Grandval’s piano teacher – through her friend George Sand, who shared a passionate relationship with the Polish pianist. After Chopin’s premature death, Viardot honoured his memory by arranging some of his mazurkas as vocal pieces.
