Yeah, the skeletons should dance here 🤣
I am not sure was he the first who did a "remix" , if we would call it that way.

Joseph Haydn used some tunes in his works from folklore.. Liszt, Brahms too. Liszt even made a whole series of studies based on Paganini's works. And other examples, I should check for all of them, but yes, Camille made a parody on own tune + others in the same composition 🤣
Although, the dance macabre was not written in a very happy mood, I think he wrote it after his wife's death.
Oh, the talent. You know what they say, it's about 1% of talent and 99% of studying 😁
But making a parody and doing the compiling and different things. Of course, I'm not trying to diminish the efforts of such great names. A lot more of respect goes on for that.
I know dance macabre is sad a tune. A very beautiful tune.
I'm sure of it. 😜
