[79] Sabine Heinefetter, the most famous and distinguished of the three sisters, who all excelled as great singers; in Milan, even among Italians, she shone as a star of the first magnitude. Circumstances obliged her to leave the stage while still in full possession of her powers. [80] Franz Wildt, the most celebrated, and in truth the best tenor singer the German opera possessed from 1820 to 1845. His voice and training were alike first-rate. [81] Anton Orlowski, a fellow-student of Chopinʼs, a talented musician, afterwards chapel-master at Rouen. Born in Warsaw 1811, died 1861. [82] Viz., not Jewish. [83] Joseph Slawick, born in Bohemia in 1806, studied at the Prague Conservatoire, under Pixis, at the expense of Count Wrbna; he died at Pesth in 1833, just as he was about to commence a long artistic tour. [84] A reference, perhaps, to the disturbances then prevailing in the Peninsular. [85] Fräulein Constantia Gladkowska was in the habit of going to the Bernhardine Church, which was close to the Conservatoire. [86] The Conservatoire, where Constantia boarded, was near the statue of King Sigismund. [87] Chopin often called his sisters his children. [88] This letter, written on two loose sheets, was found enclosed in one to his parents, which had no envelope, and was only slightly sealed. Frederic had written under the direction these words to his sisters, “You are requested not to break the seal, and not to be inquisitive, like old women.” INDEX. Accent, Exaggeration of, 288.
