Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (14 November 1805 – 14 May 1847) was a German pianist and composer.
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.
