" It was not unusual for composers to borrow from one another, and this might be considered a compliment.
Though Clementi noted in subsequent publications of his sonata that it had been written ten years before Mozart's opera — presumably to make clear who was borrowing from whom — Clementi retained an admiration for Mozart, as reflected in the large number of transcriptions he made of Mozart's music, among which is a piano solo version of the " Zauberflöte " overture.
