Die Geruchs‑Orgel
 (Sung text for setting by G. Raphael)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Palmström baut sich eine Geruchs-Orgel,
und spielt drauf v. Korfs Nießwurz-Sonate.
Diese beginnt mit Alpenkräuter-Triolen
und erfreut durch eine Akazien-Arie.
Doch im Scherzo, plötzlich und unerwartet,
zwischen Tuberosen und Eukalyptus,
folgen die drei berühmten Nießwurz-Stellen,
welche der Sonate den Namen geben.
Palmström fällt bei diesen Ha-Cis-Synkopen
jedesmal beinahe vom Sessel, während
Korf daheim, am sichern Schreibtisch sitzend,
Opus hinter Opus aufs Papier wirft ...

    Set to music by Günter Raphael (1903 - 1960), "Die Geruchs-Orgel", 1957 [ tenor voice, clarinet, violin, percussion, contrabass, and piano ], from Palmström-Sonate, no. 6
