Piano Sonata No.

11 (Mozart)
The Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 / 300i, by Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart is a piano sonata in three movements
The sonata was published by Artaria in 1784,

The sonata consists of three movements :

I. Andante grazioso
II. Menuetto
III. Alla turca – Allegretto

All of the movements are in the key of A major or A minor;

therefore, the work is homotonal.

I. Andante grazioso
Since the opening movement of this sonata is a theme and
variation, Mozart defied the convention of beginning a sonata with
an allegro movement in sonata form. The theme is a siciliana,
consisting of two 8-measure sections, each repeated, a structure
shared by each variation.

II. Menuetto
The second movement of the sonata is a standard minuet and trio
movement in A major.

III. Alla turca
The last movement, marked Alla turca, popularly known as the
"Turkish Rondo" or "Turkish March", is often heard on its own and
is one of Mozart's best-known piano pieces.
