BASTIEN ET BASTIENNE, a German operetta or pastoral in one act (15 Nos.), words by Schachtner from the French, the music by Mozart 'in his 12th year,' 1768; performed in a Garden-house at Vienna belonging to his friends the Messmers. (Köchel, No. 50; Jahn, 1st ed. i. 122). The subject of the Intrade (in G) is by a curious coincidence all but identical with the principal theme of the first movement of Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony:—

${ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 3/4 \key g \major \relative g' { g2( b4) | g2( d4) | g( b d) | g,2( d4) | a'8 g a g a b | } }$

etc.
