Hardenack Otto Conrad Zinck (2 July 1746 – 15 February 1832) was a German-Danish composer and choral director.
It Isn’t What You Zinck
In spite of his age of 71, Zinck still remained employed, working on his own to further music and singing in general. -- Wikipedia
I’ll bet you hardly ever think
Of Hardenack Otto Conrad Zinck,
And yet he did his valiant part
To bring the Danes the choral art.
He did this work with mixed success,
But he hung in there, nonetheless.

Charles-Louis Hanon (2 July 1819 – 19 March 1900) was a French piano pedagogue and composer.
Five-Finger Position
Though years ago your student fingers
Played old Hanon’s repetitions,
Even now the memory lingers
Of those digital positions.
Even now you’re often haunted
Even now they haunt you still,
Is this what your teacher wanted
When they put you through that drill?
