which through the fertile valleys doth flow
far from Vienna and St. Leopold's dome.

Into the funkiest of funks I've sank,
We'll solve this riddle yet, we shall not fail,
From Hungary or Russia does the composer hail?

I always forget that some of Russia is in Europe, because of my tuva obsession.

was it composed after the end of WWI?
