George Crumb (24 October 1929) is one of the most distinguished living American composers.

Ins and Outs
A piano has eighty-eight keys,
But Crumb was not happy with these.
He twiddled inside it
And then amplified it,
And delighted his rapt devotees.

Anna Amalia von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (24 October 1739 – 10 April 1807), was a German princess, later duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, and composer.
Attainments
In Anna Amalia’s court
They followed the Arts and not Sport,
And a duchess composer,
(As history knows her),
Is a very rare thing to report.
