Rivalry

He was the teacher of his cousin, the much better known composer Leopold Koželuch. -- adapted from Wikipedia

Jan Antonín Koželuh,

  We are told,

Instructed his cousin, young

  Leopold.

He taught him, as family ties

  Compelled him.

Was he proud or depressed when his pupil

  Excelled him?
