Grandstudent

 

He studied with Johann Christian Kittel, a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach.... He composed prolifically, and an organ primer of his enjoyed wide popularity. - Wikipedia  


Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck

Had quite a splendid name, I think,

And so I checked him out on line –

It seems, in life he did just fine,

And though they’re easy to resist

His published works make quite a list.


His organ primer had success

Which wasn’t a surprise, I’d guess,

Because he had a claim to feature:

Bach had been his teacher’s teacher.
