Pezzo straordinario magistralmente interpretato da una superba Maria Tipo. La grande bellezza dell'Italia musicale sconosciuta ai più.

[@lp02lp]

Una pianista di altri tempi con infinito talento e senso dell'armonia stupefacente....un bene all'anima ascoltarla.

[@PaulHummerman]

Clementi's last, and perhaps finest, piano sonata, given a magnificent performance by Tipo.

[@italianpianist86]

Clementi, one of the best composer of the classical era, father of the modern piano. Far ahead of all the other contemporary composers. I am preparing my new recital with Clementi sonatas and work on his music every day is a blessing.

[@krikorhadidian897]

1978 and this excellent recording? Full body and rich sound. I like Maria Tipo she plays so good.

[@Altagraciadeorituco]

Maria is magical with Clementi

[@jordanstephens95]

There is so much beauty in the darkness of this piece!

[@Giampiero_Cittati]

Clementi in stato di grazia preromantica, Maria Tipo grandissima interprete.

Discovering Muzio Clementi and falling in love with his music!

Che meravigliosa interpretazione!

meravigliosa sonata/sinfonia ! stupenda MariaTipo

There aren't words. Simply wonderful!!

[@alessandromancini2635]

A mio parere Haydn e Clementi sono i compositori che più di tutti hanno influenzato Beethoven. In questa bellissima sonata si ritrovano frammenti del linguaggio pianistico beethoveniano, senza ombra di dubbio !

[@carloscarballo7495]

Maria Tipo is the best pianist of all time ... she is a sweetness to the ears.

[@danali45]

It's a wonderful recording. Thanks for sharing.

[@mcrettable]

The first modern pianist/composer!

Thanks for uploading!

[@ChristianJiang]

I thought Clementi was only a classical composer, but in this piece he's almost in the romantic era!

[@JoeCembalo]

Clementi is highly undervalued... but he composed not only wonderful classical sonatas (I like them more than Mozart's) but also more deep pieces like this one, as a precursor of Romanticism.

[@Emperion90]

+JoeCembalo Very true yeah, real Clementi's problem is that everyone look at him just as a "Pre-Beethoven-Guy"

[@jackhousman6637]

Try his 4th Symphony, sometime.

[@mcrettable]

He started it with Beethoven

[@jgutiermusica]

@@JoeCembalo I agree!

So nice a composition and play...

[@c.g.marseille4510]

very nice ! !

[@marcorval]

Still a classical piece in every way, though a highly emotional and poetic one at that.

[@user-df5mu9yi2t]

Прекрасная , светлая музыка на все времена !

[@Jesuispetitelena]

Amazing.

[@JanisRaderPiano]

exquisite, thank you! Will study it.

[@arcocvt2405]

Così bella e perfetta da eguagliare la grande sonata classica....peccato che sia poco conosciuta... Clementi non dovrebbe essere solo oggetto di studio da parte degli allievi del conservatorio, ma essere un nome noto a tutti come beethoven, mozart etc.

[@timothythorne9464]

Questa sonata dovrebbe essere più conosciuta in quanto non è più in stile classico come Haydn e Mozart, ma è piena di romanticismo con sensulità italiana.

[@massimopaderni855]

Il giudizio di Mozart su di lui è stato esiziale.

[@audeo1634]

Anche questa bellissima esecuzione di Maria Tipo dà a Clementi l'onore che merita.

[@danielet.2524]

Non capisco perché sia così dimenticato come compositore, ha scritto testi bellissimi...

[@hansglangrieger2188]

veramente

[@jgutiermusica]

És una sonata completament romàntica. Hi ha passatges que anuncien Chopin i modulacions wagnerianes.

[@idroj6566]

I la Tipo ,autèntica aristòcrata del piano ,hi obra meravella!!

[@PaulHummerman]

a socks-knocking performance!

[@francesco6008]

Clementi dipinge, forse anche meglio di Virgilio (sto imprecando), il quadro emotivo e sentimentale di Dido abbandonata. Dopo, dalle difficoltà vivi se ne esce; tranne chi sceglie, come la regina, poi, di abbandonarsi.

[@williambunter3311]

Mozart referred to Clementi as a 'charlatan'. Certainly not true. Clementi composed many pieces of outstanding beauty and quality, and was well-respected as a good man by his contempories. His op.36 sonatas are gorgeous! As is this lovely piece.

[@Nuraghes100]

Mozart himself was a cheater and liar. He decorated himself with strange feathers. Lately it has been discovered by Musicologists and Historians that,for instance,he isn´t the composer of "Jupiter Symphonie",or the "Pariser Symphonie". The true composer of these two Sinfonies is an italian,from whome Mozart copied them. He did not write one single not of them. A Plagiator

[@davidjohnson9796]

@@Nuraghes100 Mozart was NEVER a cheater nor probably a liar. You need to read some accurate bios before making comments like this. Also WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU READ THAT DE DIDN'T COMPOSE THE JUPITER SYMPHONY????? You're full of rubbish!

[@maliuatu]

@@davidjohnson9796 David, cool down man. Yes, what Nuraghes writes is actually been around for a while: some musicologists have been dismantling the myth of Mozart for some years now and yes, doubts have been raised as to whether Mozart did actually compose those two symphonies (I think the composer they think might have composed them was Andrea Luchesi) and many other pieces. Whether that is true or not, or to what extent, I frankly would not dare to say.

[@antoniosilva7083]

Gosto bastante de Clementi. Não me apercebo nesta sonata de alguma sonoridade romântica. Pelo contrário, a obra soa muito clássica e lembra bastante Haydn. Em todo o caso é para mim um prazer ouvir Clementi.

[@davidjohnson9796]

The date of composition you state (1800) is incorrect. I was written in 1821 although Scarlatti's influence is evident throughout

[@stefy661]

Che incisione e'? esiste un CD?

[@remomazzetti8757]

Interesting piece but having all three movements in g minor is tiresome to my ears. I'll stick with Beethoven.

[@miguelmendizabalcontreras9771]

I desagree each movement has a particular feeling
