Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was one of the most influential, popular and prolific composers of the classical period. A child prodigy, from an early age he began composing over 600 works, including some of the most famous pieces of symphonic, chamber, operatic, and choral music.

The six variations are nominally on a French ariette, "Hélas, j'ai perdu mon amant" ("Alas, I have lost my lover") by Antoine Albanèse [fr] (1729–1800), an Italian-born French castrato singer and composer. However, it appears that Mozart misnamed the melody used, which was actually entitled "Au bord d'une fontaine" ("By the edge of a fountain"). The Neue Mozart-Ausgabe points out that no French tune bearing the title "Hélas, j'ai perdu mon amant" ever existed. The melody also existed far earlier in France than Albanèse's version, since at least the sixteenth century.

It is thought to have been written for Mozart's first piano student in Vienna, Marie Karoline, Countess Thiennes de Rumbeke (1755–1812), a cousin of Philipp von Cobenzl. #ClassicalMusic
