🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： sonata for the piano-forte and a famous toccata for the harpsichord or piano-forte in Es-Dur Op.11 S. (Op.19)

Clementi’s work combines a sonata conceived for the piano-forte with a toccata playable on the harpsichord or piano-forte. In the sonata section, it is important to clarify the contrast between phrases and the exchange of thematic material, while allowing harmonic changes to be heard carefully. In the toccata, finely worked movement of notes and forward-driving rhythms provide the main attractions. In rapid passages, avoid rushing; maintain clarity and evenness, and give ornaments and dynamics a light, lucid character so that the contrasting identities of the two sections emerge clearly.
