Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

[ATOB2]

I know someone famous composed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, who was it?

[JimWJr]

It is listed as "Merry Dance" by Leopold Mozart in "Steiner Repertoire Album for Piano: Book 1". Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a theme and variations on "Ah! Vous Dirais-Je, Maman". Perhaps both made use of the same French folk tune.

I found it! It is listed as "Merry Dance" by Leopold Mozart in "Steiner Repertoire Album for Piano: Book 1".

I read that Mozart composed it at the age of five.

Yes, I believe it was Mozart who composed the theme and variations of the tune for the piano.
