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.
