🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Gradus ad Parnassum No.99 in g-moll Op.44-99

Clementi’s No. 99 from Gradus ad Parnassum is an étude that develops finger independence and musical fluency through intricate motion and harmonic changes. As the phrases unfold, they create a sense of tension and release, making their direction and shaping a central point of interest. Rather than playing every note with the same weight, it is important to maintain the flow of the beat while bringing out the melodic line. Begin slowly, coordinating the hand movements and checking the balance between the hands. In the finer passages, avoid tension and use a light touch with clear articulation. Keep the pedal restrained enough to prevent the sound from becoming blurred, allowing both agility and expression to come through.
