Jean-Baptiste Weckerlin (9 November 1821 – 20 May 1910) was a French composer and music publisher.
A Question of Priorities
Weckerlin’s compositions cover many genres: works for orchestra and for voices and orchestra oratorios and other sacred works, operas, and over 300 songs. -- adapted from Opera Rara
Weckerlin is best remembered for his piano arrangements of traditional French songs, notably the bergerette. -- Wikipedia
Was Weckerlin filled with regrets
That his ever-so-slight bergerettes
Became his mostly lasting success? ----
I’d guess that the answer is yes.
