Joseph Elsner (1 June 1769 – 18 April 1854) was a Polish composer, music teacher, and music theoretician.
Fons et Origo
Elsner diaried of Chopin: "Chopin, Fryderyk, third-year student, amazing capabilities, musical genius." -- Wikipedia
While Joseph Elsner wrote a lot,
The only lasting fame he’s got
Derives from teaching Chopin theory,
And so it’s a relief to hear he
Embarked on his responsibilities
Aware of Chopin’s capabilities.
