Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K 331: Turkish March, Alla Turca: Volume 3 (Essential Classical Piano)

Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K331 was probably written in 1783 when the composer and his wife spent the summer in Austrian city of Salzburg. The first of the sonata's three movements consists of a lyrical theme and six variations and is followed by a minuet and trio. The last movement - a rondo entitled 'Alla Turca' or 'Turkish March' - is one of Mozart's best known compositions. It imitates the sound of a Turkish military band - a style of music that was much in vogue in 18th-century Austria. This edition of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 in A major, K 331 ('Alla Turca') brings you the complete three-movement sonata and includes biography of Mozart by Lawrence Walters.
