From the 11th Sonato of K.331 Rondo Alla Turca is one of Mozart's most popular works. This is the third movement and it took its inspiration from the quasi-Turkish music that was the fashion in Vienna during the late 18th and early 19th century. Sections of the piece imitate the bass drums and cymbals which typify the military march genre providing a greater sense of grandeur and a rousing dynamic.
