Anton Webern (3 December 1883 – 15 September 1945) was one of the most important composers of the 20th century.
Serial Solution
A composer around 1950
Was feeling confused and adrift. He
Looked at the trends,
And then joined with his friends
In thinking that Webern was nifty.

Antonio Soler, usually known as Padre Antonio Soler (bapt. 3 December 1729 – 20 December 1783) was a Catalan Spanish composer best known for his many mostly one-movement keyboard sonatas.
Pedigree
Padre Soler's most celebrated works, his keyboard sonatas, are comparable to those composed by Domenico Scarlatti (with whom he may have studied). – adapted from Wikipedia
The sonatas of Padre Soler
Have a bright and Scarlatti-like flair.
Whether pupil or not,
It is clear that he’s got
A legitimate claim as his heir.
