Christian Gottlob Neefe (5 February 1748 – 28 January 1798) was a German opera composer, conductor, and organist.
Teach Your Children Well
He was known as one of the first teachers of Ludwig van Beethoven. – Wikipedia
Christian Gottlob Neefe’s name
Perhaps deserves obscurity;
In any case his future fame
Would not have been surety
Without a stroke of Fate that grew
From out of Bonn’s community,
And teaching Ludwig was, he knew,
His golden opportunity.
