🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.77 in h-moll Op.44-77

Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum No. 77 is an étude for refining musical flow and expression while keeping intricate note movement under control. Repeated figures and continuous passages propel the music forward, demanding not only even fingerwork but also a clear sense of phrase direction and balance between voices. One of its points of interest is the way the center of the sonority shifts with changes in the figures while the overall flow is maintained. In practice, begin slowly, making each note clear and even, then add natural dynamics and long, well-shaped phrasing after releasing unnecessary tension in the hands.
