Clementi Muzio - 6 Sonatinas Op.36 - Piano 4 Hands

Clementi Sonatinas Op.36 and 4 Edited by Kendall Taylor. The Sonatinas presented in this edition are first rate examples of that style of work which Beethoven admired and for the student they give the opportunity to show beautiful singing tone clear sparkling fingerwork crisp rhythms and to show by intelligent phrasing and considered relationships of phrases and sections how compositions constructed in the classical sonata form can be tastefully and effectively presented.In brief here are works full of interest for their own merits which also give complete musical and pianistic preperation for the study and appreciation of the works of the great masters.

Towards the end of the 18th century Clementi increasingly advocated the piano as the successor to the harpsichord. He composed expressly for the new instrument and in 1801 published a piano school. His interest in teaching isalso shown by the ?Six progressive Sonatinas? op. 36 - six sonatinas in ascending order of diffi culty which are still extremely popular with today's piano teachers. Our Urtext edition follows the long established practice ofusing the musical text of the first edition from 1797. Clementi?s original fingering which is surprisingly modern has been included throughout the work.

Muzio Clementi était un célèbre compositeur, pianiste, pédagogue, chef d'orchestre, éditeur de musique, éditeur et fabricant de piano. Ses 6 Sonatines, Opus 36, sont très appréciés pour leur charme ainsi que la valeur pédagogique. On y trouve aussi un enregistrement de CD en circulation à partir de la bibliothèque Alfred. / Piano
