Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, KV 331, is a sonata in three movements.

It is not known for certain exactly where and when Mozart composed the sonata - in Vienna or Salzburg in around 1783 is currently thought to be most likely, though Paris and dates as far back as 1778 have also been suggested.

The last movement, Alla Turka or popularly known as the Turkish Rondo, proposed here, is often heard on its own, and is one of the most well known of all Mozart's works. It imitates the sound of Turkish Janissary bands, the music of which was much in vogue at that time. Various other works of the time imitate this music, including Mozart's own opera The Abduction from the Seraglio, and Concerto number 5 for violin and orchestra in A major, also known as "Turkish Concerto".
