Hugo Wolf (13 March 1860 – 22 February 1903) was one of the greatest composers of German art song.
It's Two, Two, Two Arts in One
A song by Hugo Wolf is the quintessence
Of matching notes to words to find the essence
Of what the poet meant when they were writing;
In it we hear the different arts uniting, –
A mini-Wagner drama found within its
Modest span of fraught cerebral minutes.
