June 28 - Joseph Joachim (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Joseph Joachim (28 June 1831 – 15 August 1907) was a Hungarian violinist, conductor, composer and teacher.

New-fangled

They knew it would shock him

When Joseph Joachim

        Heard the recordings he had done. 

What a breath-taking playback

For someone born way back

         In eighteen hundred thirty-one.
