🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Piano Concerto in C-Dur

Clementi’s Piano Concerto combines the clear sense of structure associated with the Classical style with the brilliant virtuosity of the solo piano. In the fast movements, crisp passagework unfolds through exchanges with the orchestra, creating a lively sense of momentum. The contrasting slow movement offers its own appeal in the shaping of the melody and the balance with the accompaniment, while the finale leaves an impression through its buoyant rhythms and sparkling motion. In performance, it is important not to rush the technical passages, but to keep each note clear and give the phrases a distinct direction. Avoiding excessive exaggeration of dynamics and remaining aware of the dialogue with the orchestra allows both the brilliance of the solo part and the unity of the whole to emerge naturally.
