Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (22 November 1710 – 1 July 1784), the eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, was a German composer and performer.
Underachiever
Despite his acknowledged genius as an organist, improviser and composer, his income and employment were unstable and he died in poverty. -- Wikipedia
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach,
Sebastian’s eldest son,
Didn’t have the great success
You’d think he might have done.
With genetics in his favor,
Potential hopes were big,
But something of a ne’er-do-well,
He couldn’t keep a gig.

Stephen Hough (b. 22 November 1961) is a British-born classical pianist, composer and writer.
Guess Who
No matter how tricky or tough,
His piano technique is enough.
And due to the rhyme
You’ve figured that I’m
Extolling the great Stephen Hough.
