Robert Franz (28 June 1815 – 24 October 1892) was a German composer, mainly of lieder.
Two Limericks on the Same Rhymes for Robert Franz
[1] Song Lit Class
When Franz wrote his lieder he tried
To set all pretensions aside.
They stay near the tonic,
And they’re not histrionic,
Though maybe a bit cut-and-dried.
[2] Master Class
With Franz, use the poem as your guide,
And you’ll take his directness in stride.
His songs aren’t demonic,
Or profound, or tectonic,
And so go along for the ride!
