More composing birds

Mozart kept a starling as a pet and musical companion.
One of his notebooks records a passage from the last movement of the
Piano concerto in G Major and the same passage as the starling had
revised it.
The bird imitated it closely but changed the sharps to flats.
"Das war schon" (that was beautiful) records the comment in Mozart's
hand.
