Carolmannus Pachschmidt (27/28 August 1700 - 8 March 1734) was a composer, organist, and priest. (Both dates are listed for birth and/or baptismal date. With the limited resources available to me at the moment, the 27th seems the more likely, but he fits nicely here, so for now, this is where he'll stay.]

Parochial
Carolmannus Pachschmidt,
Of whom I’ve never heard,
Never met the Bach’s, it
Would have been absurd.
Pachschmidt lived his life ordained
In Roman Catholic orders,
And pious Lutheran Bach disdained
To cross religious borders.

Peter [von] Winter (baptized 28 August 1754 – 17 October 1825) was a composer best known for his operas. (A previous verse on Winter can be found here.)
Second Guessing
When Peter von Winter took up his pursuit
Of completing the tale of the great Magic Flute,
He took where it ended, extended the story,
And hoped it portended inherited glory.
But sadly, no statue is found on a plinth.
In honor of Winter or his Labyrinth.
