🇮🇹Muzio Clementi ： Trois sonates pour le clavecin ou pianoforte No.2 in D-Dur Op.10-2

Clementi’s Sonata No. 2 is a keyboard work that reveals the composer’s clear sense of structure and refined writing. Comprising several movements of contrasting tempo and character, it offers rewarding listening through concise, well-defined themes, a balanced relationship between melody and accompaniment, and contrasts between sections. Performers should clarify the function of each voice and shape the direction of every phrase. Rapid passagework should be played with a light, even touch rather than forced power, while the more reflective sections benefit from a singing tone. Ornaments and smaller figures should be treated carefully as expressive changes without losing the underlying pulse and overall flow.
