Brotherly Love


Julius Reubke’s brother Otto prepared the Sonata on the 94th Psalm for its first publication in August 1871. – adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “Julius Reubke”


When Julius Reubke died too young,

    He left behind a pile of work.

His younger brother searched among

   The elder’s papers, didn't shirk,


Until he found the precious ink

   Where his brother had composed

His great sonata, and I think

   He knew what Destiny imposed.
