🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.89 in fis-moll Op.44-89

This etude condenses finely detailed motion and a sense of tension into a compact musical form. Maintaining the flow while keeping each note clear and even is essential, with finger independence and an even touch serving as the foundation of the performance. Pay attention to the shape of each phrase, and rather than pursuing speed mechanically, carefully build dynamic contrasts that convey the music’s direction. Listening for the roles of the two hands brings a three-dimensional quality to the intricate passagework. Begin at a manageable tempo to refine the fingering and rhythm, then draw out the work’s compelling sense of momentum.
