Adele aus der Ohe (11 February 1861 – 8 December 1937) was a German concert pianist and composer.
Not THAT Adele
Aus der Ohe was one of the few child prodigies accepted as a pupil by Franz Liszt; she began studying with him at the age of 12 and stayed with him for seven years . – Wikipedia
Although you're unlikely to know a
Musician of great-grandma's time,
The pianist Adele aus der Ohe
Deserves a commemorative rhyme.
In her youth she had studied with Liszt,
Who heard with experienced prescience
A talent who shouldn't be missed,
In spite of her preadolescence.
