It is unknown precisely when and where Mozart wrote this delightful Piano sonata but Vienna or Salzburg around 1783 is likely which is around the time of the production of Idomeneo. Mozart composed the sonata in three-movementstructure. The first andante grazioso is a theme with six variations; the second includes a minuet and trio; the third is the famous rondo alla turca and allegretto which is frequently performed as a separate piece. TheTurkish style was fashionable in Vienna at that time in imitation of Turkish janissary bands. Mozart used it again in his opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail.

Libretto-'Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail' (Abduction from the Seraglio) was Mozart's first important success. The libretto by Johann Gottlieb Stephanie features another popular topic in later eighteenth-century drama - the rescue of anabducted heroine. In this instance she is a lady of noble Spanish birth who has been captured by Barbary pirates and sold into the captivity of the Pasha Selim who has fallen in love with her. In the end she is rescued by herbeloved Belmonte with the assistance of his servant Pedrillo. This edition of the libretto is in the orginal German with an English translation.

Opus 68a; Overture to the opera The Palace (1994). The libretto (by Irene Dische and Hans Magnus Enzenberger) is strongly influenced by Mozart's Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail and it alludes to the original Bretzner/Stephanie text as wellas the book King of The Kings by Ryszard Kapuscinski which tells of the downfall of Haile Selassie's court in Ethiopia.
