According to Jonathan Bellman, it was "evolved from a sort of battle music played by Turkish military bands outside the walls of Vienna during the siege of that city in 1683."</ref> European [[classical music era|classical]] composers in the 18th century were fascinated by Turkish music, particularly the strong role given to the [[brass instrument|brass]] and [[percussion instrument]]s in [[Janissary]] bands.

[[Joseph Haydn]] wrote his ''Military Symphony'' to include Turkish instruments, as well as some of his operas. Turkish instruments were included in [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]'s ''[[Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)|Symphony Number 9]]'', and he composed a "Turkish March" for his ''[[The Ruins of Athens|Incidental Music to The Ruins of Athens, Op. 113]]''. [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] wrote the "Ronda alla turca" in his ''[[Piano Sonata, K. 331 (Mozart)|Sonata in A major]]'' and also used Turkish themes in his operas, such as the ''Chorus of Janissaries'' from his [[Die Entführung aus dem Serail]] (1782). This Turkish influence introduced the [[cymbal]]s, [[bass drum]], and [[bell (instrument)|bells]] into the symphony orchestra, where they remain. [[Jazz]] musician [[Dave Brubeck]] wrote his "Blue Rondo á la Turk" as a tribute to Mozart and Turkish music. {{Citation needed|date=February 2011}}
