Anyone familiar with Mozart?

I need to know the name of the piece that Mozart wrote that the children's song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" comes from. Does anyone know?

    The melody for "Twinkle Twinkle"

    can be traced back to the traditional French folk song,

    "Ah! vous dirai-je maman",

    which was the source for the 12 wonderful variations on the theme by Mozart.

    The same tune is used for "ABC" and "Baa Baa Blacksheep".

    It is the 1761 French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman" and it was not written by Mozart, however he did write 12 variations on that tune.

    Take that tune and put it into a minor key and you will have Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem and also a section of Moldau by Smetena.

    I only had the pleasure of meeting him once. Fine fellow, but I can't actually say we became familiar.
