George Balanchine (22 January 1904 (O. S. 9 January) – 30 April 1983) was an influential Georgian-American ballet choreographer.
Too Short
I’ve only five lines to convey
What Balanchine meant to ballet.
There often was not
A discernible plot,
And that’s all a limerick can say.
Vincenzo Righini (22 January 1756 – 19 August 1812) was an Italian composer, singer and Kapellmeister, who spent most of his creative life in German-speaking countries
Star-Crossed
Righini and Mozart, it’s clear,
Were born the same week, the same year.
It’s very precarious
To rely on Aquarius
To predict the success of your career.
