Arnold Schoenberg (13 September 1874 – 13 July 1951) was a towering figure in the musical life of the twentieth century.
Two Limericks for Schoenberg With a Shared Second Line
(1)
The series is not a mnemonic
When the music is dodecaphonic;
That the row in control
Is unheard in its role
Is a fact that is strangely ironic.
(2)
The row is, of course, embryonic
When the music is dodecaphonic,
And the rigor with which
It controls every pitch
Is what makes the whole thing so Teutonic.
