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.

Boulez and Stockhausen

Know all the tricks.
Opium tone-rows they
Inhale with joyousness
Dodecaphonically
Getting their kicks.(Courtesy of Harold C. Schonberg)
