🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Sonata for the piano-forte or harpsichord in F-Dur Op.26

Centered on clear phrasing and a lively sense of motion, this sonata offers the balance associated with the Classical style alongside a brilliance that makes full use of the keyboard. It consists of a fast movement, a songful slow movement, and a rondo finale, with the contrasting character of each movement providing one of its main attractions. In the fast sections, avoid rushing the smaller note values and keep the exchanges between the hands and the sense of meter clear. In the slow movement, give careful attention to the breathing of the melody and the elegance of the ornaments. In the finale, bring the return of the theme to life and close the work with light, articulate playing.
