aMusicComposer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Is the Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart actually a Rondo? I have been playing it a lot recently, and I just can't understand how it is a Rondo. I see the form as ABCBAB'Coda. Can anyone help?

Monarcheon Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 A rondo is an elaboration of ritornello form, where the refrain is played between contrasting sections. In this case, it happens to be B not A. This link here...: https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/31899/why-is-mozarts-turkish-march-considered-a-rondo ...describes that the form can be boiled down to an ABA by what they call "second order groupings" but this is unconvincing to me.
