About "Piano Sonata No. 11 In A, K.331 -"Alla Turca" : Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 11 In A, K.331 -"Alla Turca": 3. Alla Turca (Allegretto) (1975 Recording)" by Alfred Brendel

The famous Alla Turca finale crackles with mock-Oriental swagger, yet Brendel never lets it become mere spectacle. Beneath the jaunty rhythm and percussive piano, a hint of irony flickers—a march that knows it is a performance, charming and slightly unhinged.
