Mozart's Violin Concerto #5 is the type of piece you can stomp your feet along to. The name "Turkish" comes from the final movement where Mozart mimics the percussive sounds of Turkish military bands that were popular in the late 18th century.
The Colorado Symphony pairs this violin concerto along works by contemporary composers Anna Clyne (a top ten female composer today according to conductor Marin Alsop) and John Adams in this year's Mozart and Now concerts on Saturday, January 11.
