Twelve Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" 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. 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 childrens songs, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and the "Alphabet Song". For a time, it was thought that Twelve Variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman were composed in 1778, while Mozart stayed in Paris from April to September in that year, the assumption being that the melody of a French song could only have been picked up by Mozart while residing in France. For this presumed composition date, the composition was renumbered from K. 265 to K. 300e in the chronological catalogue of Mozarts compositions. Later analysis of Mozarts manuscript of the composition by Wolfgang Plath rather indicated 1781/1782 as the probable composition date.
