Paul Hindemith (16 November 1895 – 28 December 1963) was one of the most important composers of the last century.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Limericks on the Name of Paul


I. There's No Accounting for Taste


When the music of Hindemith (Paul)

Was played in a shop at the mall,

It was such a big flop

That they switched back to pop

To avoid a vituperative brawl.

 

 

II. Fellow Travelers

 

They are some who are held in the thrall

Of the music of Hindemith (Paul),

But it’s such a small bunch

That it’s more than a hunch

That they hardly are noticed at all.
