It is worth noting that Delfina Potocka’s father, Stanisław Komar, died at Enghien in 1832, and that her brother later bought a villa there, so she may well have been renting a house in the vicinity in the mid-1830s (I was given this information by Dr H. Fornet, a local resident who made a search of the regional archives of Cergy-Pontoise).

4. The accounts of the Majorcan trip, and various anecdotes in Chopin’s life as related in Histoire de ma Vie, are often either embellished or tendentious, or both, while the letter to Grzymała referred to (12/V/1847) contains one or two inaccuracies and one rather significant untruth: there is firm evidence of her having at least one affair while she was with Chopin.
