This is shortened version of Mozart’s “Alla turca” in a trio arrangement for two flutes with acoustic guitar. It should be an easy piece to learn in that it one of the most immediately recognisable and popular pieces of music in the repertoire. It was Mozart himself who titled the piece “Alla turca” (Turkish March) as the music was intended to imitate the sounds of the instruments in the then familiar Turkish military bands. Understood to have been composed in 1783, a tempo in the range 100 – 112 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. It is a very adaptable piece stylistically and in the repertoire of classical musicians, folk bands, jazz groups and café style ensembles. The score and realisation were updated in 2026 with accompaniments put in place. Individual parts are appended to the full score.
