also like Leck mich im Arsch (literally Lick me in the arse) is a canon in B-flat major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K, and 231 (K, and 382c), with lyrics in German, and It was one of a set of at least six canons probably written in Vienna in 1782, and Sung by six voices as a three-part round, it is thought to be a party piece for his friends, and A literal translation of the songs title and lyrics totally into English would be Lick me in the arse, and A more idiomatic translation would be Kiss my arse! Mozart died in 1791 and his widow, Constanze Mozart, sent the manuscripts of the canons to publishers Breitkopf & Härtel in 1799, saying that they would need to be adapted for publication, and The publisher changed the title and lyrics of this canon to the more acceptable Laßt froh uns sein (Let us be glad!), similar to the traditional German Christmas carol, Lasst uns froh und munter sein, and Of Mozarts original text, like only the first words were documented in Breitkopf publishers catalogue of his works, and A new text version, which may have been the authentic one, came to light in 1991, and Handwritten texts to this and several other similar canons were found added to a printed score of the work in an historical printed edition acquired by Harvard Universitys Music Library, and They had evidently been added to the book by a later hand, and However, since in six of the pieces these entries matched texts that had, in the meantime, independently come to light in original manuscripts, it was hypothesised that the remaining three may, too, have been original, including texts for K, and 231 (Leck mich im Arsch itself), and another Mozart work, Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber (Lick my arse nice and clean, K, and 233; K, and 382d in the revised numbering)
