If You’ve Heard One Mannheimer…


That Cannabich may be a name

That’s new to you, shouldn't cause shame;

His name recognition

As a Mannheim musician

Has not, since his death, been the same.

Collect the Whole Set


Among the young theorist’s transgressions

Was disliking the music of Sessions.

He said he was weary

Of serial theory,

And hexachords triggered depressions.
