Written by 

Mozart – Sonata No. 11, in A Major, K331

This Sonata became famous for its third movement, the Allegro alla Turca (“in Turkish style”).  The first movement is a Theme and six Variations (for more information about this form, read Mozart - Variations on "Ah!  Vous dirai-je, Maman", K. 265).  The second movement is a Minuet and Trio.  The sound of the third movement imitates the one from Turkish military bands of the time, which was in vogue in Vienna.

1. Andante Grazioso – 0:00

2. Menuetto – 14:07

3. Alla Turca – Allegretto – 22:10
