Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is a nursery rhyme whose melody comes from the French song 'Ah! vous dirai-je, maman', while its English words descend from Jane Taylor's early nineteenth-century poem 'The Star'. The catalog credits the entry to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but Mozart did not write the nursery rhyme. He composed a set of twelve variations on the same French melody in the early 1780s, and that variations connection explains the catalog's artist attribution. The selected catalog source is a community piano-solo upload titled 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star | Mozart Variations,' under the account NekoGLN. Its instrumentation belongs to that upload, not to the original folk melody or to Mozart's variations.
