Abstract
John Crissey was a master teacher of dermatology and its history. He also enjoyed
composing music. In 1958, Crissey received the thrill of a lifetime: the opportunity
to study advanced musical composition under the tutelage of Aaron Copland, the “Dean
of American Composers.” This contribution tells the story of that didactic experience.
It also pays tribute to two remarkable men, who contributed so much to the development
of their respective professions and whose music has enriched the world with its beauty.
