At the time Mozart wrote Sonata No. 11, c1783 in Vienna or Salzburg, the music of Turkish Janissary bands was very much in fashion. These groups are thought to be the oldest form of military marching bands in the world. Indeed, at that time in Mozart's life, anything Ottoman was very much in vogue. The third and final movement of Sonata 11 was entitled 'Alla Turca' by Mozart himself and his quick, simple, yet rustic melody has become on eof his most popular works. Georges Pludermacher's recording was released for the first time in 1991.
"The pianist Pludermacher’s playing is intensely thoughtful and forward without being overbalancing.”
