🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Trois sonatas for the harpsichord or piano forte No.3 in Es-Dur Op.9-3

Clementi’s No. 3 is a three-movement sonata with clear ideas and a well-defined sense of structure. In the first movement, lively motion and contrasting dynamics propel the music forward, while the second movement invites close attention to the shaping of the melody and the changing harmony. The finale is marked by rapid momentum and brings the work to a vivid close. In performance, it is important to balance the volume between the hands and to play the delicate passages clearly without rushing. Shaping each phrase as a whole, avoiding excessive force in ornamental figures, and maintaining light articulation and natural breathing will bring out the work’s appeal.
