Sister Act


Fanny Henselt has, of late,

Found her stride, her pace, her gait.

Reputation now has kissed her

As more than just her brother’s sister,

And though she’s not yet standard fare,

At least we’re now aware she’s there.

Leopold Mozart (14 November 1719 – 28 May 1787) was a composer, violinist, and teacher, and the father of W. A. Mozart.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Father Complex


Though the fact was not foretold

To Wolfgang’s father Leopold,

It was clear to him his son

Was a kind of Chosen One.


His son was of a different caste,

And soon the father was surpassed;

The sort of outcome that might bother

Even the most prideful father.
