5 in A major, K. 219, often referred to by the nickname "Turkish",[1] was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1775, premiering during the Christmas season that year in Salzburg.

Mozart composed the majority of his concertos for string instruments from 1773 to 1779, but it is unknown for whom, or for what occasion, he wrote them.

The solo violin comes in with a short but sweet dolce adagio passage in A major with a simple accompaniment by the orchestra.

It then transitions back to the main theme with the solo violin playing a different melody on top of the orchestra.

Mozart later composed the Adagio in E major for Violin and Orchestra, K. 261, as a substitute slow movement for this concerto.
