An elemental question,
That it requires a gentle touch –
A hint or a suggestion,
For sentiment, when it’s too much,
Disorders the digestion.

Adam Falckenhagen (26 April 1697 – 6 October 1754) was a German lutenist and composer.

Falckenhagen's music is representative of the final flowering of 18th-century lute music in Germany. – WIkipedia

Was given a short convalescence,
By players whose skill
Could provide that old thrill,
In the face of ordained obsolescence.
