Sigfrid Karg-Elert (21 November 1877 – 9 April 1933) was a German composer, best known for his compositions for pipe organ and reed organ.
Tangled Web
His profound knowledge of music theory allowed him to stretch the limits of traditional harmony without losing tonal coherence. -- Wikipedia
There are those who confess their aversion
For Karg-Elert’s harmonic diversion,
But he got a thrill
From displaying his skill
At tangled harmonic immersion.

Working from Home
From 1924, Karg-Elert gave weekly harmonium recitals on the radio from his home. -- Wikipedia
Though he didn’t expect pandemonium
For his work on the humble harmonium,
He hoped there were those
Who, as fans of his shows,
Would offer some words of encomium.
