The Piano Sonata in A, K. 331 (1783) 
ends with the famous rondo 
marked "Alla Turca", "in the Turkish 
style". Repeated notes, 
repeated ornaments, and loud/soft 
passages are characteristic of 
the Alla turca style. The imitation 
probably came closer with the 
piano of Mozart's day, whose bass 
strings made something of a 
rattle when played loudly, than is 
possible on modern pianos.
