Dave intended some evoking of the Mozart piece but in a subtle way.
Being inspired to work with that rhythm by listening to Turkish musicians while on tour, he used the Mozart piece to work in the "Turk" aspect. Because of that, he tried to work in some motifs from the Mozart piece to close the loop.
I learned both of those Brubeck pieces when I was a kid. Probably around 13 years old, to make my dad happy.
