I am terribly embarrassed to let everyone know that I know this bit of
information, but a long time ago, (when I was a young child, of course!)
I saw a very gawdawful bathetic movie with Liberace playing a pianist
who goes deaf. He "wrote" a popular song called "Sincerely Yours" for
the eponymous movie. Only years later did I discover that the song was
based on the Chopin Etude 0p 25#1, "Harp"
Neat melody!! Nice chords!
("I'll be yours, sincerely yours, all my life, sincerely yours")
I bought the sheet music. Liberace claimed credit for composing it.
Nowhere did the name Chopin appear on the music.
