  • I love the witty and excitable elan.There are some very nice changes of mood here.On the other hand,The playing is not ahead of the perceived downbeat,(necessary for the whimsical element.)Also I would have preferred more pathos in the fleeting pathos,along with chords that are BROKEN.

    I AWARD THIS 2 3/8 WOLFIES...You lost an 1/8

    because I got Vertigo trying to follow the score!

  • Not only that but it took me forever to get the score to play that way. The Scarlatti posting K 517 has stable screens for a whole line of music. But since Clementi is an original score, with much wider pages than a modern piano score, I had to set it up with a scrolling score.

  • holy crap that's a lot of black on that score.

  • Listen how beautiful the sound is. It is maybe "buzzing" but not "dry". On the contrary - after you get over the 1st 'shock', you realize that it has a very rich sound. Listen to the beautiful bass-sounds: they are beautiful while not obscuring, as are the modern ones.

    Bravo for the performance!

  • music is like food you have to listen to music like you have to eat food couse u cant stop eating and you cant stop listening to music

  • its like playing black 

  • @sarge0256 Also you can really tell Chopin learned alot from this guy. "In fact he made all of his students learn the gradus ad parnassus"

  • Keep in mind this is from gradus ad parnassus- a instructional work. His sonatas are perhaps more gorgeous than this.

  • @Gargantupimp Well said

  • 3:19 through 3:27

  • According to my edition (Breitkopf & Hartel) this is no. 41.

  • @scyldschefing Clementi is not better than Mozart, but a lot of his piano works are a lot better than a lot of Mozarts piano works

  • @Gargantupimp I like Clementi too. Like I said in another comment here, I agree that his works aren't performed often enough.

    But picking favorites and talking about what composer is better than what other composer is a different matter.

  • @scyldschefing Yeah well I value my opinion highly and consider it quite accurate. Clementi's sonatas are always interesting and entertaining
