Clementi: Sonatina Op. 36, No. 5

LISZTONIAN.COM
About this episode

The next in the Clementi Sonatina set that I've been working on. This was actually recorded many months ago, but I haven't had time to publish it :-)

This performance did not turn out great. I would label it as "sloppy" and "rushed" in many parts. However, I am just as human and prone to fallibility as the next pianist (perhaps more so!)...

I hope that you will enjoy this recording of Clementi's Sonatina Op. 26, No. 5!!!

Beethoven Symphony No. 8
In 1812, Beethoven's life was in ruins. He was embroiled in court battles, pining away for his "Immortal Beloved," and profoundly depressed. His musical response is one of his funniest, most charming, and most "classical" symphonies - the 8th. This is an underappreciated work tha ... Show More
