early piano sonatas#2
Piano Sonata in F major WO3
Clementi, like all composers for the emerging amateur
music market, needed to balance his own artistic
ambitions against the tastes and abilities of his intended
audience. In the sonatas of his middle London period
he often managed this very well. The unpretentious first
movement of the Sonata WO3 (‘WO’ means without opus
number) has an engaging, if disquieting, rhythm that
responds throughout to the accented second beat of the main theme.
Hyperion
By examining the style of this sonata, its much complicated comparing to the former sonatas posted, it used a theme that is leaning to the minor but falls back to the major instantly, a rather rare* style of Clementi sonatas. Here are 2 tracks played by Shelley.
*I was rather curious this sonata had been composed by Clementi or wrongly attributed.
