With the Wind
Krenek's music encompassed a variety of styles and reflects many of the principal musical influences of the 20th century. — Wikipedia
Ernst Krenek had
A chance to try
Each passing fad
That rambled by.
He’d try one for
Ten years or so,
Then change once more
His status quo.

Moritz Moszkowski (23 August 1854 – 4 March 1925) was a German composer, pianist, and teacher of Polish-Jewish descent.
Gone, Not Quite Forgotten

A famous virtuoso,
His name recognition has faded away,
And now it's merely so-so.
