Mozart Piano Sonata in A Major, K. 331 - third movement rondo form

I added a diagram of the rondo form to Tobias Sing’s lovely youtube performance. This movement is the famous “Rondo alla Turca.“ Here the “B section“ (the simulated Turkish march) is actually the most repeated passage, which is perhaps slightly unusual in a rondo. The basic principle of the form, however, seems to be a simple and energetic alternation of themes, which this movement certainly offers.
