🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.11 in C-Dur Op.44-11

No. 11 from Gradus ad Parnassum is an etude that develops finger independence and evenness of touch by refining delicate movement within a clear sonority. The continuous passages go beyond purely mechanical practice: when their short phrase units and moments of tension and release are brought out, they take on greater musical shape. A key point is to listen to the movement of both hands while maintaining a steady pulse. In performance, begin slowly, coordinating note values and fingering without accumulating tension in the wrists or arms. Even at a faster tempo, preserve the clarity of each note and add dynamic shaping that leads naturally toward the peaks of the phrases, allowing the music’s lightness and clarity to emerge.
