🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.22 in e-moll Op.44-22

No. 22 from Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum is an etude in which continuous, finely articulated motion sustains a sense of tension and forward momentum. Listening for changes in the patterns and register helps clarify the overall structure. Rather than pursuing speed alone, the performance calls for a clear, even touch and careful attention to the overlapping lines of motion. Shaping the natural climaxes of the phrases and maintaining a sense of breath within the momentum keeps the music from sounding mechanical. In practice, work with the hands separately and confirm the shape of each pattern and the fingering before increasing the tempo.
