Mozart's Divertimento (K.I36) was written in Salzburg in 1772, when he was sixteen. According to Alfred Einstein, the title 'Divertimento' is a misnomer, supplied by a publisher and not by Mozart himself. In all probability the work is an Italian Overture for strings, written for a definite occasion.
The Concertino is from a set of six published at The Hague by Carlo Ricciotti, in 1740, four years after Pergolesi's death, under the title ' Concerti armonici.' The title-page of the publication suggests that the Concertinos were actually composed by Ricciotti, but the dedicatory epistle describes them as ' the product of an illustrious hand,' and some authorities believe that this phrase refers to Pergolesi, although there is no actual proof of his having composed the Concertinos.

' The Uglv Duckling' for voice and piano, was written in 1914 and revised in 1932. Based on the story by Hans Andersen , it tells how a brood of ducklings was hatched out one fine day, and how the mother-duck was pleased with her offspring, except for the last arrival, an ugly little creature; and how the ugly duckling eventually turned into a beautiful white swan.
