'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'.

Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman", K. 265/300e, is a piano composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed when he was around 25 years old (1781 or 1782). This piece consists of twelve variations on the French folk song Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman. The French melody first appeared in 1761, and has been used for many children's songs, such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa, Baa, Black Sheep and the Alphabet Song.

Mozart did not write the tune, but he did write a piano composition based on the tune called Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman". No one knows who wrote the original piece of music and it is listed only as traditional. The English lyrics are written about 30 years after Mozart's variations by Jane Taylor. There are many different lyrics tied to this song, most of them written after Mozart made it popular.

Mozart didn't actually write Twinkle Twinkle. It was written by someone else around the time Mozart was 4 or 5. It is a widely held misconception. Mozart did write some variations on the composition when he was a teenager.

No. Beethoven did not compose Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

And despite a common belief, neither did 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.

Although Mozart composed a variation of this French tune about 1778, he (Mozart) did now write the original tune. Saint-Saens, and Liszt also composed variations of the same French tune.
