Answer
Edward Lear is well-known as an author and illustrator of limericks and nonsense verse, but he also played the piano and organ. He composed several pieces of music, including a sonata for piano, and an opera called "The Owl and the Pussycat." Lear's music was often lighthearted and humorous, in keeping with his writing style. He also enjoyed singing, and he often performed his own songs for friends and family.
