Theodor von Schacht,another obscure composer who wrote great music,and a twist

I just found this composer and thought y’all might enjoy his work. I especially chose this delightful Clarinet Concerto to share because of the last movement, beginning at around 16:37. It seems Mozart and Haydn, who were contemporaries of his, were not the only ones to compose variations on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star [or Baa Baa Black Sheep, which I prefer, since I am an Aries :ram: :roll_eyes:] They are all fun :smiley:. Hope you like the music!

Mozart: Variations on Ah, vous dirai-je Maman [the French version of the nursery rhyme]

(played on a replica of a fortepiano from Mozart’s time)

Haydn:
Second movement of the “Surprise” symphony
