Mozart Himself ➠ World Premiere of the Turkish March by Mozart arranged for piano and orchestra. Rondo alla Turca was originally composed for solo piano in 1783 by W. A. Mozart and it is the final movement of his Piano Sonata Nо. 11 K. 331 230 years later for the first time was premiered the version for Piano & Orchestra in the arrangement by Georgii Cerkiin. This video represents the live event and was highly acclaimed by the public. The style of the orchestration is however a little bit more romantic while the piano part remains original. The melodical lines in the orchestra are more in the style of Tchaikovsky than Mozart, and remind a little bit of the James Bond Theme, but the concept of the piece is strictly followed. Let's say that this is a modern version of the Turkish March enhanced with the rich orchestral sound. I put a lot of love when I did this arrangement with the intention to add more beauty and expression to this already famous piano piece and I hope that I succeeded and that people will really like it. Actually I am not the first who adds a romantic touch to an already existing composition by Mozart. In the past I was very impressed by Max Reger - Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart, Op. 132 which is over the same Piano Sonata K 331 by Mozart. It really enrich the nice simple theme with great romantic passion. Here is one of the variations by Max Reger for your convenience: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz1xgh1WsgQ If you enjoyed this video please 'like', comment and subscribe to my channel for more great videos to come.
