🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Musical Characteristics No.3 Op.19-3

Clementi’s Musical Characteristics No. 3 is a concise piano work that makes a single musical character vivid within a short span. Bearing in mind its character as a cadenza, carefully identifying points where the musical flow comes to a pause and movements leading toward the next idea makes the overall structure easier to grasp. Its appeal lies in the contrast created by the roles of melody and accompaniment, as well as the changing sense of tension shaped by the progress of each phrase. Begin by clarifying the individual voices and treating the sound with lightness so that the musical flow remains unhindered. Avoid overly extreme dynamics, and be attentive to breathing spaces and a natural sense of closure for a clear and elegant interpretation.
