It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Jiggery-pokery, too

Higgledy-piggledy
Sergei Rachmaninov
Sat at the concert grand
Much like a mouse,
Playing his Beethoven
Superpianistically
Also his Schumann, and
Counting the house.

Higgledy-piggledy
Ludvig van Beethoven
Wrote out his symphonies,
Trios and such.
He did not give them a-
Way to the publishers.
Himmelsgrossmachtige!
He asked for much.

Rickety-rackety
Boulez and Stockhausen
(Serial exponents)
Know all the tricks.
Opium tone-rows they
Inhale with joyousness
Dodecaphonically
Getting their kicks.
