Larry, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Twinkle, Twinkle
wasn't written by Haydn or by Mozart, but that Mozart did several famous
improvisations on old French lullaby originally entitled, "Ah, Vous Dirai-Je
Maman." Yes, the dominant seventh is in the original and used extensively in
Mozart's variations. Mozart also threw in quite a few more.
