For me, the main appeal of this song is in the lyrics. They consist of a boy (suggested by the lyrics and instrumentation to be Mozart) singing to his little sister about how she won’t become famous based on talent alone like he will, because she’s female, and he will still go down in history as more famous than her for the same reason. It’s a commentary on the gender double standard in the entertainment biz, at any stage in history.
