🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Three sonatas for the piano-forte or harpsichord No.3 in Es-Dur Op.23-3

This sonata combines Clementi’s Classical sense of structure with the lively agility of the keyboard. The first movement is built around clear themes and light, rapid passagework, with its contrasts brought into sharp relief. In the second movement, the unhurried flow and finely shaped, singing melodic lines are especially appealing. The finale is distinguished by its buoyant motion and crisp rhythms. Throughout the work, performers should balance the two hands clearly, give ornaments and smaller figures a clean, articulate profile, and shape dynamic changes naturally rather than overstating them. Using the pedal sparingly to avoid blurred resonance, while remaining aware of the direction of each phrase, will help preserve both clarity and momentum.
