Possibly interesting, but the writing style makes me question if the facts aren't over-exagerrated or twisted to fit the narration.

I thought the article was mostly a shorter, cribbed version of his Wikipedia entry.[1]

For instance, the polonaise attributed to Kosciuszko might have been composed by someone else. Wikipedia reports the composition as fact, but https://polishmusic.usc.edu/research/dances/polonaise/ suggests otherwise.
