Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major · K. 331 · 3rd movement
Rondo alla Turca
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, c. 1783 · Allegretto · 38 keys · MediumAbout the piece
Mozart ended his Piano Sonata in A major with this march “in the Turkish style”, imitating the Janissary bands that fascinated Vienna in the 1780s. The left hand thumps like a drum while the right hand runs.
You play the famous opening eight bars, the notes taken from the score and moved to C-sharp minor so they fit the 17 keys.
