🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.6 in E-Dur Op.44-6

Clementi’s No. 6 from Gradus ad Parnassum is an étude for developing finger independence and evenness of tone. Rapid passagework sustains the musical flow, while the performer must maintain a steady tempo and clearly convey the exchanges between the hands and changes of register. In practice, begin by making every note clear and even, while avoiding unnecessary tension in the wrists and arms. To keep the music from sounding mechanical, shape each phrase group with a sense of direction and bring out the melodic line; this gives the piece a refined character within its energetic motion.
