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!

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

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
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.
