Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major ‘Turkish’, K. 219 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major ‘Turkish’, K. 219 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart completed this concerto in 1775, with the premiere being given in the Christmas concert season that year in Salzberg. Mozart did not make a dedication for this work and it is unclear if this was a commission composition.
The nickname ‘Turkish’ is due to the content of the third movement, the Rondeau. This movement includes a section which is reminiscent of the Turkish ‘military music’ that would appear in the work of composers at the time.
The work is comprised of three movements:
I. Allegro aperto – Adagio – Allegro aperto 00:00
II. Adagio 09:45
III. Rondeau – Tempo di minuetto 19:09
