The Italian pianist and composer Muzio Clementi was born four years before Mozart and outlived Beethoven by five years, making him a central figure in the Classical era. However, his influential pedagogical work "Gradus ad Parnassum" has overshadowed his esteem as an artist, something this volume of Clementi's piano sonatas aims to rectify. This selection of ten moderately to highly challenging sonatas, composed between 1768 and 1785, showcases Clementi's mastery of part-writing and counterpoint within a formal, dignified Classical style. Our carefully revised Urtext edition is based on the original 18th-century publications of these pieces.

Description

Muzio Clementi, born four years before Mozart and outliving Beethoven by five years, played a pivotal role in shaping the Classical era of music. Following our first volume of selected piano sonatas from 1768-85, this second volume introduces advanced pianists to eight later, more technically demanding sonatas from the second half of Clementi's creative period (1790-1805). Particularly noteworthy is the concluding Sonata in A major from Clementi's final and most acclaimed sonata collection, Opus 50. Dedicated to the renowned composer Luigi Cherubini, this sonata combines poetic expression, profound earnestness, compositional artistry, and virtuosic pianism.
