About "Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331 "Alla Turca" : Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331 "Alla Turca": Wolfgang Amadeus MOZART : Sonate pour piano K.331. Marche turque" by Christoph Eschenbach

Eschenbach teases the keys with a coy minuet before the famous Turkish march erupts—saffron robes and scimitars flashing in the drawing room. The tension between polite Viennese form and brash Ottoman percussion makes Mozart’s sonata a deliciously subversive parlor trick.
