Clementi - Piano Concerto in C Major - (1/3) 1st Mvmt.

[adjeeeeeeee]

This is really beautiful music. Clementi indeed was a great musician (and piano manufacturer) unfortunately he doesn't get the attention he deserves. In 1977 I played the transcrip for piano of this 1st movement for my music class end exam. While not as fluent (and fast), I managed well and was congratulated for my performance. I recently found back the notes, reason to check the music on youtube...well played. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting! Finally, some new music! (New to me.)

Clementi may have been a superior pianist to Mozart- no doubt had greater virtuosity, but what a dull composer- how utterly diatonic and drab. Mozart commanded a far greater palate harmonically and was utterly daring as an orchestrator.

Respectfully, I must disagree...

@Cantormatis

I think they are both great musicians and I appreciate them both!

Who is the pianist here?

@ngpiano72

this is performed by the Sofia Soloists Chamber Ensemble with Ivan Drenikov on the piano and Vassil Kazandjiev at the baton. Apologies; I always try to credit the artists..

Thank you for this delightful upload. It's such a rare thing to hear Clementi's music being played properly! He is a very under-appreciated composer who possibly suffers from the fact that his music is probably best known through the performances of learners, bless them. :)

@MATWrehearsals I agree! thanks for the post billystewart4!
