A Thought About Agnetha Fältskog
When you look at her name, if you see a
New furniture line from IKEA,
It's proof of the really outstanding
Effect of the company's branding.

Louis Spohr (5 April 1784 – 22 October 1859) was once regarded as one of the foremost composers of Europe.
Marked Profession
The chinrest was invented by Louis Spohr in the early 19th century, about 1820. Historically, this has been explained as a response to increasingly difficult repertoire which demanded freer left hand techniques than had previously been used. -- Wikipedia, s.v. "Chinrest"
When you play the violin,
The rest that sits beneath your chin
Had never been in place before
The thing was used by Louis Spohr,
Who needed more support to play
The flashy music of his day.
And from the advent of this trick he
Had a violinist's hickey.
