April 10 - Eugen d'Albert (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Eugen d'Albert (10 April 1864 – 3 March 1932) was a Scottish-born pianist and composer.
[For last year's verse on Claude Bolling click here.]





Oh, He’ll Nae Take the High Road


D'Albert repudiated his early training and upbringing in Scotland and considered himself German. - Wikipedia


Eugene d’Albert, a student of Liszt,

Lived abroad, where he’d insist

That no one ever call him Scottish,

In fact, the subject made him hottish.
