Domenico Cimarosa (17 December 1749 – 11 January 1801) was one of the preeminent Italian composers of his time.
The Segreto of Success
He wrote more than eighty operas, the best known of which is Il matrimonio segreto, Cimarosa's only work still to be regularly performed. – adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “Domenico Cimarosa“ and “Il matrimonio segreto“
Raise your glass while I propose a
Toast to honor Cimarosa,
Whose eighty operas (give or take),
Deserve some candles and some cake!
Forgetting lest it spoil the fun
That only one is ever done.

Johann Friedrich Schubert (17 December 1769 -13 October 1811) was a German violinist and composer.
Damning with Faint Praise
In 1804 he became Music director of the Witterschen Schauspielergesellschaft in Ballenstedt. – adapted translation from MGG
Johann Friedrich Schubert was and is
Of no importance to the music biz,
Although I have no doubt he made the most
Of his Witterschen Schauspielergesellschaft post.
