Anton Stamitz (bapt. 27 November 1750 – c. 1798–1809) was a German composer and violinist.
A Limerick for Anton Stamitz
Between 1782 and 1789 he played in the King's court orchestra in Versailles, and obtained the title ordinaire de la musique du roi. His biography after the french Revolution in 1789 is not known, but he probably died in Paris or Versailles. He may have died as late as 1809. -- adapted from Wikipedia
It’s sad, on this day, to report
That his time at the French royal court
Was going just great,
Then, defeated by Fate,
Both his job and the King were cut short.
