'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' is NOT by Mozart. This is a myth. He did, however, write a set of variations on the tune later used for the song. Mozart would have known the tune under its original French title 'Ah, vous derai-je, mamam'.
Mozart never wrote Happy Birthday. However, he did write a similar tune to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when he was five.
Mozart
It is a common misconception that Mozart wrote Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at the age of four or five. He did not. This is the age he was when the original French folk song was written under the name of "Ah ! vous dirai-je, Maman", in 1761. Mozart did, however, write a series of variations on this melody when he was much older. The words to "Twinkle Twinkle" were penned by Jane Taylor, in 1806.
"The Magic Flute" and Sonata in C Major. And also his most famous one: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. He really wrote that!
The lyrics are from a poem written by Jane Taylor. The tune is by Mozart.
