August 19 - Gerard Schwarz (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Gerard Schwarz (b. 19 August 1947) is an American conductor and trumpeter.

[For last year's verse on George Enescu click here.] 


Two Views on Schwarz

Contra


Some players who played in Seattle

Complained they were treated like cattle,

But the maestro had scored

Enough points with the board,

That the players, thereby, lost the battle.


Pro


Schwarz in Seattle directed

The symphonies (often neglected)

Of academicians

Whose staid compositions

Weren’t nearly as dull as expected.
