This is the side of Clementi people don't hear. There is more to him then his sonatinas played in piano lessons. Utterly sublime.

[@renatoterzo2111]

Esecuzione brillante ed "accorata". Per un compositore del quale si è sottolineato più l'aspetto didattico- pianistico, piuttosto che l'essenza della sua arte musicale, a torto purtroppo sottovalutata.

[@Corralonero]

Excelente interpretación de una extraordinaria sonata. Es increible el desconocimiento y la indiferencia de la mayoría de los pianistas hacia la obra de Clementi, ¡el padre del piano! . . .

[@stefano4929]

Brilliant touch, clean dynamics, excellent interpretation. No doubts Ms Cellini brought Clementi to life. Thank you.

[@Iolanda57]

straordinaria sonata! Interpretazione toccante e intensa, veramente coinvolgente!

Team Clementi!! Your a ROCKSTAR!

so much... heart... in this music...

[@neilmodino9284]

mozart criticizes clementi because his playing are just like technical,scales but clementi praised mozart for his lyrical and smooth pieces .i like clementi s pieces because he was the father of piano music

[@irbennett]

He was not the father of piano music you lunatic.

[@neilmodino9284]

Actually he was. If u don't believe me then do your research u musicologist.

[@stephanejavier5495]

Nouytre Nji ???? Tu étais vivant à l' époque? Arrêtez sans arrêt de critiquer Mozart...cela devient insupportable!!!!

[@amadeuswolfe7180]

He was more like the father of newly fortepiano and a great piano teacher . as being one of the first the first one to work on them also helped with action and design, engineering hands on and in a business sense he was also was endorsed by Broadwood fortepianos pianos, he traveled with them to showcase them throughout EU

[@mcrettable]

I would agree if someone told me Clementi was the father of the piano, and piano music

[@eutenhodoisfilhos]

like a pianist as i am this piece its sublime and lovely my beloveds friends

Thank you for sharing this. This sonata is a rare treat to hear as it's not played very often.

[@TheShamwari]

I can't say I love the piece, too much ornamentation on a single theme, but the pianist is fantastic. The piano too is great - what make is it ?

[@c.g.marseille4510]

her playing give's me thanking on the art of playing by Sviatoslav Richter any agree ?

[@alepro3694]

capolavoro

[@neilmodino9284]

clementi's musical pieces are emphasis on rhythmic motivic patterns its all scales, running paralell thirds, chord progression and virtuostic technics that tends to be mechanicus. its all virtuostic technics that is mostly like etude pieces which paveway to lizts chopin and beethoven pieces.

[@mmbmbmbmb]

+Neil Modino Is that all it is to you ...? To me ... it is wonderfully pleasant listening!

[@neilmodino9284]

Its still beautiful but different style. I like it too.

[@Metroidhunter07]

beautiful.

[@Clavichordist]

I know what you mean. I've been discovering his sonatas too as a pianist. We grew up on his boring Sonatinas and exercises!

[@82dallasar]

I wonder if Mozart ever had a chance to hear Clementi perform this amazing masterwork. It eclipses anything Mozart wrote for solo piano both in scope and in virtuosity. My personal opinion, of course.

[@milton3204]

The answer is no. You know why? It was published in 1821, more than 20 years after Mozart's death.

[@giacobbeneviozanivan8610]

In ogni caso, a parte Mozart che citò un tema di Clementi proprio nell'ouverture del Flauto Magico, Clementi influenzò moltissimo Beethoven. E' chiaro che questi due geni avevano il massimo rispetto per l'opera di Clementi. Solo questa considerazione dovrebbe portare ad una rivalutazione generale di Clementi, che dovrebbe essere considerato come uno dei grandi della musica, erede della grande radizione tastieristica italiana, da Frescobaldi a Scarlatti.

[@drale75]

I disagree, although this is a very expressive work, it has a lot of "empty" space which you never have with Mozart. Clementi`s works are good but not ingenious. His f minor sonata is a bit more successful than this one, just my opinion. Composer`s technique is on a much higher level in case of Mozart, Haydn....not to talk about Beethoven. However, very interesting sonata to hear.

[@milton3204]

Drasko Bozovic "Empty space" Most of Mozart, ingenious? Of what? His constant use of the alberti bass? I love Mozart, and I recognize his genius but in my opinion they are rarely prevalent in his piano sonatas. Whereas Clementi was far more consistent, creative, and adventurous with the piano. It's a stupid comparison, since Clementi was a pianist-composer above all. lol

[@drale75]

Milton James It's a stupid comparison, since Clementi was a pianist-composer above all. lol ??? Why do you say "stupid" comparison? Can we discuss in a cultural way? So what if he was a pianist-composer? What was your point? Why would alberti bass be a minus for ingenious composing? Most of ingenious works are SIMPLE :) Look at Chopin`s style... pure simplicity! What about thematic material? What about Mozart`s "golden" 2nd movements? We do not find such things in Clementi, God bless him for everything he has done, but this is not "stars" music

[@c.g.marseille4510]

thanking = thinking

[@abdul7591]

Can you identify the recording here? I have Stefan Irmer's renderings of these works on the MDg label, but this is very good indeed.

[@otakurocklee]

Clementi's piano sonatas are much more forward thinking than Mozart's. Mozart's a great composer, but it's pure classicism, very clean, elegant and smooth, but lacking drama. Clementi's piano sonatas set the stage for the type drama we see in Beethoven's sonatas.

[@irbennett]

Clementi was a contemporary of Beethoven you silly man/woman. As somebody else mentioned this piece was written 30 years after the death of Mozart.

[@S.Lijmerd]

irbennett Well 'silly man/woman' Clementi was a contemporary of both Mozart and Beethoven, he just outlived them both. Beethoven got extremely influenced by the early Clementi sonatas, and while these sonatas are less expresive than this piece they where still miles ahead for its time. As for Clementi being the father of piano playing, well that is sort of true. Of course Handel, Scarlatti and all Bachs, set some great foundations, but Clementi was the key figure connecting to the the more modern style and fingering that shaped the piano music of the next centuries. As said before Beethoven got infleunced by Clementi(later Clementi got infleunced back by Beethoven), but Clementi also teached John Field, who in turn teached Glinka, thus connecting him to the later russian 'five', and influenced Chopin, Czerny(who is also seen sometimes as the father of piano playing), Liszt, Alkan(who was of great influence on the late 19th early 20th century french composers) and the likes. Not only that but he also wrote a score called 'Gradus ad Parnassum' which Beethoven let his students play and every major pianist of the 19th century had a copy of it at home. Debussy even recalled it in his Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum.

[@renatoterzo2111]

No doubt, along with Cherubini, a Beethoven forward. Good evening.

[@proarte4081]

@@irbennett Mozart was able to hear a lot of Clementi's sonatas which were avant-garde in their piano technique at the time, the sonatas op. 7 for example and many others. The problem is this piano technique was very distant from the Mozart style ... so there are two hypotheses: perhaps Mozart was annoyed that another musician might have had more innovative ideas , or Mozart was genuinely disgusted by Clementi's style. The problem is that modern piano technique comes from Clementi, and not from Mozart ...

great overlooked music... too bad!

[@kingvii7250]

This is a little to much of 18th century for my taste. I have played some of Clementis piano pieces and I love playing them. It is common that he was a virtuoso, but not so much of a sensitive and dynamic musicisian. I feel that many of pianists play him very unsensetively to. It´s more techniquet and rushed thru. What Mozart have and Clementi has not, is that feel for what gets to the human heart. In that sense there is no real competition. Rina Cellini is very very very great pianist... Again... Mozart describes Life it self and perhaps even the being of an higher Power... GOD? :-)

[@rinacellini242]

sono commossa. grazie delle sue espressioni che mi hanno toccato il cuore. Grazie ancora e mi ascolti perché esprimo il mio amore verso la sublime arte dei suoni Un caro abbraccio Rina

[@maliuatu]

King VII Usual common place-cliché about Mozart and Clementi. Beethoven and Chopin, who cannot certainly be ranked amongst primarily technique-oriented composers (to say the least) kept Clementi's sonatas in highest consideration. John Field, Clementi's pupil, was the creator of the "nocturne" form. This is not the the heritage of a techiquet approach.

[@kellikim3850]

This was written in 1821, which means this was in the 19th century.

ahn, thank you!

[@timothythorne9464]

The first movement is rather boring and seems in the Allegro section rather derivative of Beethoven's Tempest Sonata in the same key, but lacking the passion and clean, precise section transitions of the earlier work. The 2nd and 3rd movements are better.

[@proarte4081]

@@1212artiste Clementi published this sonata in 1821 but probably he composed it in 1805
