Nono met his wife-to-be, Nuria Schoenberg (daughter of Arnold Schoenberg), at the 1953 world première of Moses und Aron in Hamburg.  - adapted form Wikipedia


When Nono met his future wife,

He knew he’d found a mate for life,

For she was there, like him, to hear

A most important world premiere.


Envoi in a New Meter


And surely these two were the happiest pair in

The audience gathered for Moses and Aaron.
