William Sterndale Bennett (13 April 1816 – 1 February 1875) was an extraordinarily talented musician, admired and befriended by Mendelssohn and Schumann, whose natural caution prevented the full blossoming of his gifts. He was also important as a pianist, educator, and musical administrator. A few of his piano pieces and several songs still cling to the most precarious of footholds in the repertoire.
Peas in a Pod
Few will have opinions when it
Comes to William Sterndale Bennett,
But those who do, when said and done,
Will think the same of Mendelssohn.
