Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (4 January 1710 – 16 or 17 March 1736) was a short-lived composer remembered for operas and sacred works.

26
Pergolesi, showed his gumption,
Though he suffered from consumption,
Scribbling notes on music papers
By the light of candle tapers,
Filling up inspired pages
For the local courts and stages.
Thus, it pains me to report
That his time on earth was short.
He was sick and never sturdy
And he died four years from thirty.

Josef Suk (4 January 1874 – 29 May 1935) was a Bohemian composer and violinist. He studied under Dvořák, whose daughter he married.
Family Questions
Was Suk ever flustered or bothered
That his wife was so famously fathered?
Did it bug him to spend his whole life
In the shade of the dad of his wife?
