Mozart Piano Roll Search: Rondo Alla Turca
By Jim Canavan
Happy New Year to all!
Does anyone know if any company ever made (or now makes) an 88-note roll (or a reproducing one, for that matter) of Mozart's "Turkish Rondo" (aka "Rondo ala Turque")? It's a pretty familiar piece, and it seems like there someone at some point would have cut one.
The piece is a personal favorite of mine, and although I've got the sheet music, it's beyond my musical talents to play it passably!
Thanks for y'all's help!

[ Editor's Note: Its also a favorite of mine too. However, my first
[ exposure to it was in the 50's as recorded by George Wright on "George
[ Wright Encores". Wright's tounge-in-cheek arrangement, "Crazy Rondo"
[ really showed off the Wurlitzer theatre organ and Wright's arranging
[ and playing skills. To this day _ANY_ arrangement of this tune will
[ cause me to crack a smile. I've been meaning to ask David Wasson
[ if he'd do a Violano or Mortier arrangement. Good luck with your hunt.
[ Please let us know if you find something.

[ P.S. My WEB search indicates that the title of this piece is:
[ Turkish March, W.A. Mozart (From Piano Sonata #11 in A major, Third
[ Movement: Rondo ``Alla Turka'')
[ Further, there should be several (amateur) MIDI arrangements of this
[ available on the 'net if this would be of interest to you.
