Johann David Heinichen (17 April 1683 – 16 July 1729) was a German composer and music theorist.
Youthful Pursuits
In 1710, he published the first edition of his major treatise on the thoroughbass. -- Wikipedia
When he was still a young unknown,
Herr Heinichen assured his place
By using a decisive tone
And writing on the thoroughbass.
And thus, I think it’s rather nice
He’s still consulted for advice.
