🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.93 in e-moll Op.44-93

No. 93 from Clementi’s Gradus ad Parnassum is an étude that develops finger independence and even movement while maintaining a stream of finely articulated notes. Listening closely to the repetition and progression of its limited material, while keeping the direction of the phrases and a clear sense of meter, is central to the performance. Begin by evening out each note, avoiding excess tension in the wrists and arms, and practise at a manageable tempo. In the finished interpretation, do not pursue speed mechanically; instead, shape natural accents and dynamic contrasts in accordance with the musical flow, and carefully refine the tension leading toward the cadences to bring out the work’s clarity and forward momentum.
