Sonatina Clementi Op. 36 No. 1

[james16181001]

I really really like this song (btw you play this very very good I don't know how you don't mess up!!) I am learning it. it's difficult but I have to learn it. For me, the bad part are the fingers! I mess up them in the keyboard. My teacher says to me "you are a profesionist in doing mistakes with your fingers" :D. the point is the part is very difficult... but beautiful though!

[gokector]

You could do better, GOOD LUCK

[SarangOceanRain]

I'm a first year piano student, and this is the song I have to learn this summer! I was freaking out a little because my teacher only played it through once and I wasn't sure if I was playing it right, so thank you for putting this up!

[Alekasoto]

me gusta como tocas

[kingjepoy]

[Nastor1996]

I can't stand agogical and dynamical indications. . . SHEEEET (yeah, it's SHIIIIT xD)

[ABC29965]

[charliesong8]

Have any tips if you have any gimme some ppplease...........,im up 2 2nd page,LOL

[anitastar99]

Preciosa cancion sobre todo porque la toco yo xDD

[lucas44959]

this is very sloppy i would now because i am a Professional Music Artist and i work at the cleveland institute of Art and Music and i think the tempo is too fast and in the middle too slow and on some parts put more loudness into it i would recommend you to come down so call me at 330 221 3542 i would be delight to have you talent.

[Jacobo21091980]

Very ugly

This song sounds very complex, but the actual music for it is not. :]

[xDroflmao1337]

its actually pretty easy

[hapigal101]

I have to play this piece on August 1!! I am so nervous! BTW to all of the people who are going to be learning how to play this piece, trust me! It is not that hard.

[mynameisrhiannonnn]

wow! i just bought the music for this and was following it as you played; you're amazing! i have no idea how i'm going to learn this ...

[magicanne95]

it sounds soo easy. But it isn't - I have to play Spiritoso &' Andante at friday. :x

[Jaakmans]

the Sonatine Bureaucratique is little faster and more difficult

[musicclassic1810]

allegoro, andante y vivace, vivace es mas ràpido q el allegro mejora pssssss

[Yakirathefuzzy]

WOOOOOOOOOAH, really good!!! i have to play this... it sounds SOOOOO slow compared to this :(

[birthmarkslaya26]

[Charlieyanicknames]

@birthmarkslaya26 me too :(

[lynniejo93]

[greenaddict123]

[mycami22]

Esta es una de las obras maestras que me encanta practicar en el piano, llego solo al andante, con un poco mas de estudio llegaré al Vivace.

[coolgirl301]

[B5D729]

CUTE SONG

[elfcool324]

[shaykaygreen]

I do to, today!

[R1L6B]

I have to play this song. I play it way to fast. I like how this is played.

[alterego2288]

la primera pieza es la mas dificil, igualmente te sale muy armoniosa toda la sonatina. yo la practico en estos momentos, espero hacerlo asi de bien.

[kaedemola]

Esta sonatina es muy facil,aun asi,para mi ,el primer movimiento es el mas dificil,me confundo un monton xD

Pero el andante y el vivace me sale muuy bien xD

[Sawer89]

nice performance!! İm trying to learn this now.i hope i will be as good as you:D.

[clemery723]

AHHHHH! You're so good. I'm trying to learn that for a recital but it's not working out. But I just started playing it a week ago so it's not my fault.

[mimiski9]

this piece is easy

[magazinely]

I played that song when I was 9 years old. :D I like that song. :)

[xara339]

i played vivace in a piano concert!!!

[alohava]

Perfectamundo! 0 mistakes.

[heroKYH28]

very nicely played! great piano as well!

Katy*

[koplen]

Great! You played it very nicely. I am trying to learn this piece now. Started yesterday. Working on smoothing it out and speeding it up a little. How long did it take you you to learn it?

[warren0088]

very very good play, sounds elegent, my son is also learning to play this piece this week.

[amimicz]

this piece is soo easy wahaha:)) i'm finished with it

[tndr78]

Nice performance!

[woutervansambeek]

You can play it very very nice!

[alohava]

I am learning this piece also. It is not easy. You have done a wonderful job, especially with the old-style trills. Very expresive. Hats off to you!

[emilyluvsyou6292]

bravo =]

[elvitillo]

Thanks

[carnater14]

your piano sounds like a celesta!...Good playing!...

[elvitillo]

Haha, thank you!

[MGrace94]

I'm teaching myself to play this song. You play it wonderfully.

[ALEXISPIANIST]

I am studying this piece, and in the second movement, i have a problem. I dont know how play a trino!!!

[flcl2and3]

i thought andante is slower. O-o

[elvitillo]

You're right, maybe I shuold have done it a bit slower in the second movement.

[Valvos]

@flcl2and3 Adante:going, moving, a moderate tempo. He played it beautifully and and a very good tempo.

[Greenleafpirate7]

Excellent! I'm playing this piece now and I love the way you play it, especially the second verse

[elvitillo]

Thank you! Post a video response to mine.

[Mozartkv331]

Bravo~~

[elvitillo]

Thank you - I really appreciate it.

[mariniehore]

wow!! nice!

i'm learning it, and i confuse to read it, so i search here, and you play so nice, thanks!

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[Luxex7]

So, on the andante part during the trills and the sixteen notes the left hand doesn't stop at all???

[elvitillo]

It keeps playing

[chocaholic94]

lol

i playted this bout 4 years ago

i found it quite easy!! it only took me 2 weeks to finish it ^^

im glad i managed too =]

i think i was bout 9 xP

Good job =D it sounds really good =P

[alohava]

AMAZING! I have been trying to learn this piece for over a year, and gotten practically nowhere. You are talented - it takes some real skill to play this well. An excellent inspiration

[elvitillo]

Keep practicing, but do not keep on the same piece. For me it is better to explore new pieces and then go back again, the other way I can get burnout. Thank you very much for your kind comments.

[psygate]

In my Sheetmusic compilation, the first isn't a Spiritoso, its a Allegro? Or is that the same? ^^

[elvitillo]

Mine is the first piece of the Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics Vol. 40 - Muzio Clementi Op. 36, 37, 38 - Sonatinas for the Piano, ISBN 0-7935-5173-0. It says Spiritoso, then Andante and finally Vivace.

[clycchick4ever]

[carey646]

I played this when I was about 9 years old and now can NOT PLAY IT! I stopped playing for 20 years and forgot it all! I am starting again and hope I can get it back. What a waste of a gift! :(

[figaro92]

i have to play this sonata this afternoon...

[elvitillo]

So how did it go?! Send me a video.

[figaro92]

good!! I will send you the video when i put it in my computer...

[criseluka]

Great job! I love Clementi!

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[oboegirl1994nm]

Great Job!

I would probably only say that the ending of the first movement was a little abrupt.

How long have you been playing?

I'm gonna upload my version of the sonatina soon. :)

Great job! :)

[elvitillo]

I started playing at 12, I'm 37 - but I stopped playing classical pieces for many many years, that was practically sight readed that day. I have days like that, but other days ... uf nothing gets done right :-)

Pleas reply me with your version, I'll love to enjoy it.

[cyooi]

hi, nice interpretation :) just that the ending of the 1st movement is a bit abrupt.

actually u can achieve the 'orchestral' effect without using the pedal,especially during the 2nd movement - some small technique i discovered myself :)

I recorded my own version also, what do you think about it? :)

watch?v=ZPsGc2WtxO0

[elvitillo]

I have just seen you version - quite interesting :-) Left my opinion there. Regards!

[Strav9]

i play much slower and i have much more mistakes than you

Tomorrow ill have a piano test and ill have a D- xD

[elvitillo]

Be patient and practice, but to too hard so that you force your fingers, they need rest.

[BoLlAdInHo]

Great technique and well interaction between left and right hand. The only thing that could be better is the tempo (quicker) and more staccato.

[elvitillo]

Thanks for the advice I will take them into consideration.

[LauraxAnn12]

i'm playing this for my recital in june, but you are much better at it. great job

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[arredifestivi]

che bel legato

:)

[ncobbold]

well done! but you need to pay attention to your phrasing, like the stacatto markings. not playing staccato changes the whole feel of the piece.

i like your tempo.

[alexmicallef]

hi eaven i play it nice but if you put more expressions it comes better...

[elvitillo]

Thanks for your observation. I will.

[draakje8100]

your real good!!!

my friend plays it

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[xxedohouzexx]

bello

[elvitillo]

Muchas gracias!

[vittorio67]

I'm going to learn this piece. Thanks to your video I'll learn it with pleasure ! =)

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much - post your video then.

[PeterPanElliot]

omg this wuz like my very first classical piece to play, i wuz like 8! brings back memories, LUVVIN IT!

[elvitillo]

Glad you like it

[kayumanis62]

Hey, enjoyed that...very graceful indeed...My daughter is learning this piece...will get her to watch this...

[elvitillo]

That's an honor - thanks for your kind comments

[mybffsrweird]

i think u should add more speed too!but overall good job

[elvitillo]

Thank you - thanks for the note, I appreciate it.

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[handsdown4dBEATLES]

gawd, I'm gonna play this for my audition. I'm still learning this! :)

You play well! :) I hope I can be as good as you! :)

[elvitillo]

Thank you ver much! Practice, sleep, take cold showers - that help the learning process :-)

[alexmicallef]

non è una cavolata da primo anno,... è più difficile di quanto sembra

[elvitillo]

And that in spanish or english means ... :-)?

[Foris76234]

Your good i am playing this right now. You should add more speed to the first and i like how you gracefully put the sounds together.

[elvitillo]

Thank your for you advice and for your remark.

[Zioiello]

e una cavoltata da 1° anno

[elvitillo]

Pues sí

[inainaina22]

A little more speed for the first movement I think. :)

[elvitillo]

Yes I think so too

[jlamour]

Nice. Cutie's right, a little more staccato. In fact, practice it REALLY staccato with wrists a little higher and very loose and relaxed. This will help you discover where the staccato works and where it doesn't. I do this with every piece I practice.

[elvitillo]

Great advice - I will. Thank you.

[lovexmusic23]

whooa really nice =D great job

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much!

[cutie31796]

you need 2 add staccato. not all the notes r connected. just a litle piece of advice. Other than that, great job!!!!!!

[elvitillo]

You're right, I'll take it into consideration. Thanks Cutie.

[cutie31796]

ur welcome elvitillo

[snowwhite11588]

welldone! I am getting in trouble with the first movement! haizzz... I wish I could do well like u!

[elvitillo]

Thanks for your kind words!

Reduce the speed at which you practice it, so that you can anticipate every movement and build a "right muscle memory" which will eventually erase the mistakes, build confidence that you are able to perform it and then gradually speed it up.

[xxBrett]

Great job! I have to learn this for my piano exam, but if I can play like you I'm sure I will succeed.

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much! Hope you do well in your exam - let me know how you did afterwards.

[Jukabee7]

Amazing performance. I only have the first movement on youtube and it's not even CLOSE to this good!

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much! I saw yours and it is very good!! Keep practicing, for one year of lessons I think you're excelent!

[Jukabee7]

Eh, it's not so great. That was last year though...I HAVE gotten better, but it's slow go with me. I'm working on the second movement now.

[casrak]

Dios mio!! yo soy pianista pero esta obra no me sale ni la mitad de bien que a ti!!! tu vales muchooo, enorabuena, a i e encanta lo bien que te salió

[elvitillo]

Caramba gracias por eso!! La verdad es que son piezas que no tocaba desde hacia tiempo y redescubri mi interes por el estilo "Sonatina" :-) Si te cuento que la grabé "on-the-fly", no es que la practicara mucho, pero valoro muchisimo ese comentario!!

[elvitillo]

Thanks iamadamliu

[iamadamliu]

very good!

[qwirkle]

Good job! I'm learning this piece currently and struggling because the version I have has no fingerings on it. Without fingerings when you are first learning it makes it quite confusing.

[elvitillo]

That's right, even though the best way is to provide yourself your own fingering. Sometimes the predetermine doesnt' do it.

[elvitillo]

Gracias julua1, lo aprecio mucho!

[julua1]

muito inspirador. obrigada!

[dos4gw82]

good playing. Watch for those staccatos!

[elvitillo]

Thank you very much - I will

[girooon]

Bien! Peeero en el primer movimiento t has parado... en el segundo t has equivocado en dos notas! y el tercer movimiento excelente, aunq creo q te anticipabas un pelín en el desemvoltorio de la pregunta principal.

[elvitillo]

Gracias por las observaciones, voy a tenerlas en cuenta.

[jamesproject]

he creado un MOUSTRUO!!!...exelente Vitillo!!...simplemente Exelente!!
