🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Trois sonates pour le clavecin ou pianoforte No.2 in C-Dur Op.7-2

This sonata offers a taste of Clementi’s classically poised writing and the clear sense of motion characteristic of the keyboard. The contrast between the fast movements, the slower movement, and the lively finale gives the work a vivid overall profile, while the development of concise motifs and the exchange between melody and accompaniment provide much of its appeal. In performance, it is important to shape the ends of phrases carefully and to keep the voices in the two hands distinct. Fast passages should not be forced; instead, aim for clarity and lightness. Treat ornaments and smaller figures naturally within the musical flow, and bring out the work’s structural beauty by observing the character of each movement.
