Notes:
Ludwika Marianna Jędrejewicz; née Chopin was the elder sister of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. She was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1807, the daughter of Nicolas Chopin and his wife Justyna.
From a young age Ludwika showed talent for music and literature, and taught her brother Frédéric (born 1810) Polish and French. Like her brother, she studied music with Wojciech Żywny. In 1825 Frédéric wrote his friend and schoolmate Jan Białobłocki: "Ludwika has composed a perfect mazurek, of a kind that Warsaw has not yet danced to."
Although there are records that composed Ludwika several mazurkas, unfortunately none of them have been published or found.
