Alphon Diepenbrock (2 September 1862 – 5 April 1921) was a Dutch composer, essayist, and classicist.
Local Boy Makes Good
Diepenbrock is one of the Dutch composers whose name is displayed on the first balcony of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.-- Wikipedia
Alphons Diepenbrock is now
Enshrined at the Concertgebouw,
Which seems to some as just a touch
Of overreaching by the Dutch.
But local folks should celebrate
The artists that they think are great,
And foreigners should never mock
A case like Alphons Diepenbrock.
