🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Three sonatas for the piano forte No.3 in D-Dur Op.40-3

Clementi’s No. 3 from Three Sonatas for the Piano Forte is shaped by clear phrasing and a well-balanced sense of structure, contrasting passages with forward momentum and more poised, lyrical writing. The work comprises several movements, whose changes of character and tempo provide much of its appeal. In the exchanges of short figures and scale-like passages, the music comes alive when attention is given not only to even fingerwork, but also to the flow of the meter and harmonic changes. Bringing out the melody while keeping the accompaniment light, shaping dynamics gradually, and playing ornamental movement clearly without rushing all contribute to its refined sound.
