cubanmiamiboy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Don't mind me. I'm just listening an old LP with this, one of my favorite compositions EVER. It never fails to put me in a great mood. I'm visualizing a ballet right now...tutus and everything... HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Fun thing about that little (seven minutes long) work. For years, it was attributed to F.J. Haydn, then to his brother Michael. Then, musicologists laid it at the door of Leopold Mozart. Now, scholarship seems to have come to the idea that Leopold may have quoted it in one of his anthologies of party music, but that the composer was either Stefan Paluselli or Edward Angerer. They were both priests working in the Austrian Tyrol, to wit, Berchtesgaden, which had a long-time history of making toy musical instruments. Link to comment
