I agree absolutely! Clementi's last six sonatas to be composed (OP. 40 and Op, 50) are extraotrdinary as are the two last capriccii. He goes form very early clasical style to deeply romantic.
Splendid sonata, somehow reminiscent of Mozart and Beethoven, the canonic movement adds an interesting touch as well. Excellent performance, thanks for uploading.
Really interesting sonata. Echoes of Beethoven's op. 22 and Pastoral sonatas in the first movement. Beethoven was obviously inspired by Clementi's piano sonatas.
@@canman5060 Beethoven said that in Clementi you get Mozart and so many others, but that the reverse isn't true, and had all his students play Clementi sonatas
@@DavidArdittiComposer Yes, I think the addition of a canon for the third movement is odd. Although the third movement is enjoyable in itself, the sonata could definitely stand without it, in my opinion.
@@stephanjwilliams I agree it might be better without the canon movement. This performer makes a good fist of it, but it still seems a bit interminable.
@@underscoreellipsesdothyphe1563 Mozart did not like Clementi much. Called him a mere "mechanicus". I agree with his criticism, but the music isn't bad. You can tell because i incorporated his style in my own sonatas.
@@sophiaperennis2360 I like clementi, so did john field and Beethoven aparantly because they dedicated pieces to him.. so mozarts comments are irrelevant to this point.. if he even said them, which he probably didn't lol I'd prefer to hear it from mozart's mouth not through here-say lol
Beethoven and Chopin were quite avid fans of Clementi...I think it was Beethoven who declared that Clementi wrote better piano sonatas than anyone he knew. This piece shows why.
A mixed bag I think. The first movement is great, the second very beautiful. The third seems boringly didactic. I’m still trying to understand the fourth.
It feels very pastoral I think of it This way. The first is a horse walk across the fields the second a night in front of a fire in your mountain house the third is jouyuse walk picking flowers the fourth is the coming of spring and wintern ending with the birds chirping(the triplets)
That second movement is one of the most beautiful things to come of the common practice era

Beethoven is one of the great admirer of Clementi's piano sonatas but Mozart was a rather harsh critic.

Clementi is like Hummel.
Beethoven opus 22, 1800; Beethoven opus 24 Pastoral, 1801. Clementi opus 40,1 1802. This means anything to you?
@@Piflaser何故似てるかと言われればフンメルもベートーヴェンと同じくクレメンティに影響を受けた世代だからです。
So lovely!
I think this may be Clementi's greatest sonata. What do you think, TH-cam?
awtheom
yes excellent
It’s a choice between this one and the B minor that follows it. That one is more compact and symmetrical, and has fewer odd choices.

Bravo! BELLISIMO...y humilde
Ths sonata was on my associate piano performance diploma exam.I just stretched a credit pass !
Thank you, Amphora!
The second movement is so beautiful
9:12 oh sht!! It scared me
25:21 - 25:38 is magical.
Pietro de Maria really makes it sound magical
Very nice!
So good
Seriously, Wolfie?
@@michaelmao2171 wdym?
@@loganpeters811 he was assuming Mozart aka "wolfie" wrote that comment, I guess

Quite different from the Griffes sonata.

I play it slower sounds do much nicer . He was before his time
Pietro de Maria does play it quite fast in this recording. I haven't compared it to other recordings though, so maybe this is the norm.
