Ignacio Cervantes (31 July 1847 – 29 April 1905) was a Cuban pianist and composer.
Pedagogical Advise
The piano music of Cervantes is
A fixture of the piano teaching biz,
But though they have élan uniquely his
I wouldn’t tell your students that he’s rizz.
Envoi
His dances have their own exotic tang,
That won't be helped by soon-outdated slang.
