Reputation
Christian Sinding’s only hit
Has faded from the scene a bit;
What happens to a one hit wonder
When even that has lost its thunder?

Reinhold Glière (11 January 1875 [O.S. 30 December 1874] – 23 June 1956), was an Ukranian composer.
Safe Passages
As the last genuine representative of the pre-revolutionary national Russian school, i.e. a 'living classic', Glière was immune to the standard reproach of "formalism" (mostly equivalent to "modernity" or "bourgeois decadence"). Thus the infamous events of 1936 and 1948 passed Glière by. -- Wikipedia
Reinhold Glière
Wrote pleasant fare
Which prized age-old priorities;
It was a flair
That didn’t scare
The Soviet authorities.
