Classical Songs

[Xoroxered]

How come some of the classical songs have different names?

Rondo Alla Turca - Turkish March
One Mintue Waltz - Petit Chien

They're all in my piano books, and I've only gone on 4 classicals..

Rondo Alla Turca is by Mozart.

I'm going to take a guess here
Rondo = Round
Alla = about
Turca = Turkey

or, a march around turkey, turkish march

OMW:
Petit = small/short
Chien -> I'm going to take a guess that it means waltz

so, its just another language, same title.

Same thing with Moonlight Sonata and Sonata Claro de Luna, I think. No big deal, just different names.

Chien means dog. So you're just a little off...

Because they're in different languages. I just suppose that FFR decided to keep the original names on some of them and English names on others.
