Heinrich Schenker (19 June 1868 – 14 January 1935) was one of the most influential music theorists in the 20th century.
Persuasion
A theory professor grew weary
When, year after year after year, he
Faced a new class
To be converted en masse
To the truth of Schenkerian theory.

Apostate
The theory department was cheery,
The meeting had gotten, well, beery,
But disaster occurred
When the chairman averred
That he hated Schenkerian theory.
