A number of composers such as Rameau, Rossini, Gluck's Tauris, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven were influenced by Turkish music and motifs. Infact it became so popular that manufacturers made special pianos with a
''Turkish Stop'' . How was it perceived by other composers and what would the sound be like ?
Was Turkish music out of vogue in Beethoven's time ?
I read that Haydn had a somewhat remote personal connection to the Turkish army. His great-grandfather had been a fatal casualty during the Turkish invasion, 1683.
