    That Rondo has a split personality (capriccio)

    Haydn's "Gypsy" Rondo (Pno Trio) is similarly unsure of itself being titled as "Hungarian"

    For a Turkish Rondo, we can look to the the finale of a Mozart Piano Sontata

      What was the rage about? There is another Turk to look for as well as Mozart.

        Will the Penny drop?

        There was a Turk in Italy in Rossini's time - don't know the Opera but its overture is a winner.

          We seem not only to have lost a penny but also to have mislaid Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo à la Turk.

          Time for you to give us something superlative.

                  George Balanchine choreographed Stars and Stripes
                  Charles Koechlin composed Seven Stars Symphony, the second movement of which was inspired by Lilian Harvey ...
                  Benjamin Dale composed Before the Paling of the Stars for chorus and orchestra, setting of a Christmas hymn by Christina Rossetti

                  Tea time will follow in due course.

                    T for two, perhaps, linking Dover, Canterbury, and Greenwich.

                      Thomas Tallis: his first appointment was in 1532 as organist of Dover Priory, then he moved to Canterbury Cathedral. He died and was buried in Greenwich in November 1585.

                      To this day, the exact location in St Alfege Church of Tallis' remains is unknown. His remains may have been discarded by labourers between 1712 and 1714, when the church was rebuilt.
