February 9 - Alban Berg (The Musical Birthday Series)

Alban Berg (9 February 1885 – 24 December 1935) was a great Austrian composer mostly in atonal and serial styles.

All Keyed Up

Though Wozzeck is tonally free,

And written without any key,

There’s nothing that’s finer

Than good old D minor -

And that’s we are in Act 3.

Femme Fatale

When Lulu went out on a date

She knew she was sealing their fate.

If anyone looked up

Her profile and hooked up

They soon became known as “the late.”
