Sarti's opera Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode has been immortalized by Mozart, who introduced an air from it into the supper scene in Don Giovanni.  – Wikipedia

Not knowing his music won’t shame us,

And professors and critics won’t blame us,

For aside from some notes

Used by Mozart in quotes

His music is not at all famous.
