Kurt Weill (2 (March 1900 – 3 April 1950) was a German (later American) composer, especially for the musical theater.

Two Variations on a Theme of Kurt Weill
(1)
There are those who have said of Kurt Weill,
When he gave Tin Pan Alley a trial,
That his music with Brecht
Had been rather more echt
Than his new North American style.
(2)
Mister Weill was a little bit hurt
When anyone said to him, “Kurt,
On your musical menu,
The stuff you wrote when you
Moved to the States is dessert.”
