Practicality

She reached the public by writing in an easily accessible, folksy style, combining memorable melodies with simple piano accompaniments. -- Wikipedia

She was told by the public, “Louise,

We’re glad you write lieder like these,

With tunes that evoke

Simple songs of the folk,

And piano parts mastered with ease.”
