🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.72 in As-Dur Op.44-72

No. 72 from Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum is an etude that develops finger independence and evenness of motion while carrying changing patterns forward without interruption. The piece maintains a continuous flow, shaping its musical argument through repetition and development within short phrases. Its appeal lies in the clarity of the detailed passages and the momentum they create. In practice, avoid rushing, balance the hands, and coordinate the articulation while shaping each phrase toward its peak. Organize the decorative motion so that it does not obscure the principal melody, and use broad musical breathing to bring out the contrasts in dynamics without making the performance mechanical.
