This is a wonderful selection of Piano Sonatas by Muzio Clementi. A dedicated player and pioneer of the Piano, which led to him being dubbed the father of the piano, Italian composer and Pianist Muzio Clementi created a large repertoire of long-lived and revered sonatas for Piano, especially during his time in England. Clementi was the consummate Piano devotee: his performances, didactic exercises and sonatas for mature pianists, all helped to popularize the instrument throughout Europe. This Urtext edition of these Piano Sonatas, edited by Sonja Gerlach and Alan Tyson and fingered by Hans-Martin Theopold, provides an accurate realisation of the composers original intentions, with thorough and detailed editorial markings and suggestions. |
