The song
was first copyrighted in 1835 by the Boston-based music publisher Charles
Bradlee, and given the title "The A.B.C., a German air with variations for
the flute with an easy accompaniment for the piano forte". The musical
arrangement was attributed to Louis Le Maire (sometimes Lemaire), an
18th-century composer. This was "Entered according to act of Congress, in
the year 1835, by C. Bradlee, in the clerk's office of the District Court of
Massachusetts", according to the Newberry Library, which also says,
"The theme is that used by Mozart for his piano variations, Ah, vous
dirai-je, maman." This tune is the same as the tune for "Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star" and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".
