Further to my recent contribution to the classical borrowings debate, I've
just remembered a variation on this theme in which Louis Spohr, for the
overture to his opera, "Alruna" of 1808, basically took the skeleton of
Mozart's Magic Flute overture and substituted his own themes, sticking to
the original key of E flat and the same layout of an adagio followed by an
allegro.

I  wonder if there other examples of this type of borrowing?

Interestedly  yours,
John H. White.
