The Proof of the Pudding


His music has been described as a combination of Johannes Brahms and Clause Debussy. – Wikipedia 


According to the ones who penned

   His Wikipedia bio entry

His works evince a curious blend

   Of styles that aren’t complementary.


Combining Brahms with Debussy?

   Was this an ill-considered act?

Or was it proof, a Q.E.D.,

   That opposites indeed attract?
