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.

Gone, Not Quite Forgotten


Though Moritz Moszkowski was, in his day,

   A famous virtuoso,

His name recognition has faded away,

   And now it's merely so-so.
