Emilia Chopin
Emilia Chopin was a younger sister of Polish composer Fryderyk Chopin. As a child she showed literary and artistic talent but died at age 14, probably of tuberculosis. The Polish given name Emilia, derived from the Roman feminine name Aemilia, is Polish for the English-language name "Emily".
Together with her brother Fryderyk in 1824, for their father's nameday, she authored a one-act rhymed comedy, Omyłka, czyli mniemany filut.
Shortly before her death, Emilia helped her sister Ludwika translate and adapt a German novel by Christian Gotthilf Salzmann, published in Polish in 1828 as Ludwik i Emilka.
Emilia's early death may have had some influence on Chopin's music.
