  Lili Kraus

  Lili, emotion leaves me quite dismayed:

  If I'm on fire I call the fire-brigade.

  Your music gave me much; I'll say no more,

  For like the kiwi I decline to soar.

  But in that given and forgiving hour

  I breathed the air where the sonatas flower (Denis Glover)

  School children cheered and music-lovers hungrily devoured the post-war concerts given in NZ by Hungarian-born pianist Lili Kraus.
