František Xaver Pokorný (20 December 1729 – 2 July 1794) was a Czech composer and violinist.
Mine— All Mine
Nearly 150 symphonies are attributed to him, but his authorship is disputed for more than fifty of these, as after his death his surname was erased from his works and replaced by names of other authors by Theodor von Schacht, intendant of the Regensburg orchestra. – Wikipedia
It seems that Pokorný was prone
To claim manuscripts as his own,
But sadly, post mortem,
When they sought to re-sort ‘em,
He was caught, and his cover was blown.
