Elfrida Andrée (19 February 1841 – 11 January 1929), was a Swedish organist, composer, and conductor.
On the Radio 1
The classical stations now play
The works of Elfrida Andrée,
And though no one would gauge her
As important or major,
She deserves to be heard in this way.

Luigi Boccherini (19 February 1743 – 28 May 1805) was an Italian cello and extremely prolific composer, mostly for his instrument.
On the Radio 2
If benign Boccherini were odder,
Or his musical style were broader,
He wouldn’t be found
To so amply abound
As classical radio fodder.
