Description

Featuring compositions by Clementi, Czerny, and Cramer, Urtext Primo 6 offers accessible piano music from three distinguished composers known for their contributions as piano educators and authors of piano methods and study materials. This collection not only includes a variety of well-known sonatinas by Muzio Clementi but also features selected works by Carl Czerny and pieces from Johann Baptist Cramer (recognized from the studies of Cramer-Bülow), which are sure to enhance any piano lesson. Instrumentation: piano

For more than a century, Clementi's Six Sonatas, Op. 4 were mistakenly published under the titles Sonatinas, Opp. 37 and 38. Nevertheless, when Clementi originally released these two-movement pieces, he referred to them as Six Sonatas for Pianoforte or Harpsichord, Op. 4. These sonatas serve as excellent supplementary material to the Six Sonatinas, Op. 36, offering intermediate students a superb introduction to the early Classical style. Interpretive suggestions are provided.
