🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.15 in c-moll Op.44-15

No. 15 from Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum is an étude that develops independence between the hands and balanced, even movement while maintaining a steady flow of finely articulated notes. Phrases with a persistent forward drive are layered, and repetition and development gradually heighten the musical tension. Rather than simply playing the notes evenly, the performer should shape each phrase with a clear sense of direction and bring out the passing of material between the voices. A clear touch with relaxed fingertips, together with natural dynamic shaping in response to harmonic changes, helps the piece make a stronger musical impression without rushing the tempo.
