Structure
I.Andante grazioso
Since the introductory part of this sonata is a theme and variation , Mozart challenged the tradition of starting a sonata with Allegro in the form of a sonata . Sicilian theme, consisting of two 8-beat sections, each of which is repeated, such a structure is repeated for each variation. Pace Andante grazioso . Key in A Major.
II. Menuetto
The second part of the sonata is the standard movement of the minuet and the trio in major. The minuet is 40 measures long, and the trio is 52.
III. Alla turca
The last part, marked alla turca, popularly known as the “Turkish Rondo ” or “The Turkish March”, often sounds by itself and is one of Mozart's most famous piano works. Mozart himself called "Rondo alla turca." It imitates the sound of the Turkish group of Janissaries , whose music was in vogue at that time. This Turkish style is also imitated by other works of the time, including Mozart’s own opera Entführung aus dem Serail . At the time of Mozart, the last part was sometimes played on a piano built with a “Turkish stop”, which made it possible to decorate it with additional percussion effects.
The third part is Rondo in the form of an ABCDECABC code , repeated from each section (except codes).
Section A : this section, in A minor , consists of an ascending sixteenth note of the melody followed by the falling of the eighth note of the melody over the staccato of the eighth note of accompaniment. These are eight measures.
Section B : this section introduces new material to the melody in thirds and eighth notes before varying the section with crescendo before returning to the piano.
Section C : Strong octave march over arpeggiated chord accompaniment. The tone changes to a major.
Section D : A continuous piano melody of sixteenth notes with broken chord accompaniment. This section is written in F Sharp Minor .
Section E : a large-scale theme of forte, followed by a change in section D.
Koda : A strong theme consisting mainly of chords (arpeggiated and non-arpeggiated) and octaves. In the middle of the codes there is a short piano retelling of the theme. The part ends with alternating A and C sharp, followed by two main chords.
Relationships to later tracks
The theme of the first part was used by Max Reger in his variations and Fugue on the theme of Mozart (1914) for the orchestra. Dave Brubeck's "Blue Rondo à la Turk" (1959) is not based on the last part and is not associated with it.
2014 Autograph Opening
In 2014, a Hungarian librarian discovered four pages of original notes (autograph) by Mozart Sonata in the Budapest National Secheni Library. Until then, only the last page of the autograph has been preserved. The paper and handwriting of the four pages corresponded to the last page of the score held in Salzburg. The original score is close to the first edition published in 1784. However, in the first part, in measures 5 and 6 of variation V, the rhythm of the last eight notes differed from various editions. In the minuet , a quarter in the third measure in most editions is sharp, but the note la is indicated in the autograph. Zoltan Kochish gave the first performance on the notes found in September 2014.
