Igor Kipnis (27 September 1930 – 23 January 2002) was an American harpsichordist, pianist, and conductor. The situation with his father, the great basso Alexander Kipnis, described below is entirely imaginary.
[For last year's verses on Jean Berger and Vincent Youmans click here.]
Not with a Bang, but a Tinkle
When Alexander Kipnis,
A most successful bass,
Heard his son’s decision,
He thought it out of place.
“You want to play the harpsichord!?
Dear Igor, are you mad?
I ask you this with deep concern,
Because I am your dad.”
