What was the nationality of the composer who dedicated two of his nocturnes to Jane Stirling?
Jane Stirling Jane Wilhelmina Stirling (15 July 1804 – 6 February 1859) was a Scottish amateur pianist who is best known as a student and later friend of Frédéric Chopin; two of his nocturnes are dedicated to her. She took him on a tour of England and Scotland in 1848, and took charge of the disposal of his effects and manuscripts after his death in 1849. While there is no evidence they were lovers, she was often referred to, after Chopin's death, as "Chopin's widow".
Nocturnes, Op. 37 (Chopin) The Nocturnes, Op. 37 are a set of two nocturnes written and published by Frédéric Chopin in 1840, though it is thought that the "Nocturne in G major, Op. 37, No. 2" was composed in 1839 around the time of his stay with author George Sand in Majorca. Unusually, neither piece carries a dedication.
