This melody "Denmark , Denmark , the sacred sound " was composed by Weyse.This lyric was the first prize winning contest by that time, and Weyse had been asked to compose. Drouet composed on this Melody Variations for Flute and Piano. To the theme Kuhlau used by his Piano Variations op.35, also i n Rondo for Piano "The Charm of Copenhagen " op.92.
