Don't know if it true, but...
In 1784, Mozart bought a starling in Vienna, which lived with him for 3 years. Mozart noticed that the bird, by nature, was very good at repeating the melodies, and surprisingly insert personal variations. One day the bird repeated the 17 opening notes of the Piano Concerto #17 in Gmaj, which Mozart had composed, inserting on the last bar of the first complete measure a G# instead of a natural G. This became the definitive version of Mozart's concerto. When the starling passed away, Mozart organized a sumptuous funeral and a worthy burial in the garden of his home.
