Some of them also courted her, but she married the impresario Louis Viardot and allowed him to manage her career. Though she never thought of herself as a composer, Pauline Viardot made a point of writing songs in a vast array of international styles; it is for these and for her books of vocal exercises that she is remembered today. |
