Muzio Clementi ： V sonates pour le forte-piano ou le clavecin ＆ un duo pour deux forte-piano ou deux clavecins Oeuvre 1 – Sonata in B-Dur S.2

Included in Clementi’s early collection of sonatas, this work offers refined writing and clear musical contrasts. Its multiple movements alternate between lively and more tranquil sections, bringing out the character of each theme and phrase. Highlights include the exchange between the hands, changes of register, and the expressive detail created by delicate ornamentation. In performance, it is important to clarify the movement of each voice, maintain distinct articulation, and carefully shape the gradations of dynamics and the direction of each phrase.
