Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Turkish March from Sonata KV 331

Mozart's Turkish Rondo is the last movement of his Piano Sonata No. 11 In A K. 331 and it is one of the most well known of all Mozart's works. It imitates the sound of Turkish Janissary bands the music of which was much in vogue at that time. Suitable for Grade 4 standard Trumpet.

This is an interesting and fun arrangement that Mozart never would have imagined but most certainly would have appreciated! His famous instrumental work has been transformed into a gleeful arrangement for voices. A refreshing acappella number for your concert or show choir that will wow your audiences to the final “Ta-da!”

The final movement of the Sonata in A major KV 331 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the Rondo Alla Turca is one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. Once only familiar to musical experts later a universal piece for all piano pupils its opening melody is now even omnipresent as an alienated sinus tone-like mobile phone ring tone. Fazıl Say's arrangement originally created as an effective encore follows on from this popularity. After the first eight bars have been presented in original form typical elements of jazz superimposed on the still recognisable classical foundations can be discovered such as syncopation of the top notes andornamentation through chromatic blue notes embedded in the at times frenzied chains of semiquavers. In the spirit of the work's improvisatory character Say likes to perfom his Alla Turca Jazz in different combinations for example accompanied by jazz singers of with orchestra. It may appear strange that Fazıl Say who was born in Turkey and - when not on tour - is still resident in that country does not bring back Mozart's interpretation of genuine Turkish music closer to its own roots particularly as many of his compositions such as Black Earth or the Violin Sonata are characterised by a subtle amalgamation of the Classical-Romantic tradition Turkish folk music and elements of jazz. In a further Mozart arrangement the ballet music Patara premiered in Vienna in 2006 composed on the basis of the Rococo-like theme from the first movement of the same A-major Sonata (wich enjoys almost as great popularity as the Alla Turca theme) Say utilised the connection which was absent in Alla Turca albeit in the opposite direction. In the ballet music the piano symbolises Western culture and the Ney flute Oriental culture communcated atmosperically by austere percussion instrumentation and soprano vocalisation.

From the comic opera filled with pirates Turkish princes kidnapping and daring rescues Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio is the piece of music that generated the (possibly fictional) ?too many notes?story. It is written in the Turkish ?janissary? style a style of music that fascinated Europe at the time. In this arrangement the right hand of the piano is frequently written 8va to help recreate the piccolothat figured prominently in the original.

This Rondo is the 3rd movement of a piano sonata indicated to be played 'in the Turkish style' and shows Mozart in playful mood.

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.

Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. “Wonderful! But, aren’t there too many notes?” asked the emperor Joseph II. “No, all notes are necessary. This is new music, ” replied Mozart. This is a famous anecdote about the premiere of the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio), which took place on July 16, 1782 at the Burgtheater Wien (Vienna). It illustrates Mozart’s ambition and self-confidence. Throughout Mozart’s lifetime, Die Entführung aus dem Serail was his most successful work outside of Vienna. It is still a much-performed opera. Tohru Takahashi has made a lively arrangement of the overture in its original key, C major. It will sound even better if your band has Turkish percussioninstruments at its disposal. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Concert Band
