Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.14 in Es-Dur Op.44-14

Clementi’s No. 14 from Gradus ad Parnassum is an etude that develops finger independence and an even touch by connecting the flow of the melody with finely detailed movement. The piece maintains a continuous sense of direction, and listening closely to the phrasing and overlapping sounds makes its structure as a study easier to perceive. Rather than rushing the tempo, it is important to balance the volume between the hands and allow the melody to emerge naturally. Avoid playing each note mechanically; giving the music a subtle sense of direction in response to harmonic changes brings lively expression to its polished character.
