    I must be a little confused because how can Mozart be accused of taking parts of 

    the Sonata from Clementi when he'd already written it in 1775, well before Clementi played it in 1781.    He only didn't publish it until 1781

       No I didn't say that. It's the other way around. I think Clementi has borrowed — or has been influenced, rather — by Mozart's sonata of 1775.

      OK. I must have misread it
