She commissioned 26 contemporary composers to write short encore pieces.... For the 27th encore she held an open contest that drew more than 400 entries.... --Wikipedia


Hilary Hahn, in need of closers,

Commissioned encores from composers,

And thus the repertoire increases

By twenty-seven afterpieces.
