So, if we've established that the first movement was like morning, and the second movement was afternoon- this movement seems like an evening out to me. The first time I heard this a couple weeks ago, I instantly imagined a dance at a dinner party. It's not often that images so clear like this one was come into my mind while listening to music, but it's exciting when they do.
I love the way Mitsuko Uchida interprets this movement, the sort of light, tip-toeing theme smoothly transitions into a grand, happy statement but it still is quite a contrast. My favorite part of this movement, however, is the ending. I love the bubbly happiness that is prevalent in the first movement that mixes with one of the themes from the last movement, and just like the first movement, the sonata ends with a clean, understated cadence. I suppose this is Mozart's way of letting us know that this music is just to be taken lightly. :)
III. Rondo alla Turca
