Muzio Clementi: Gradus ad Parnassum

The Latin phrase Gradus ad Parnassum, meaning “Steps to Parnassus”, has often been used to refer to various books of instruction in literature, music, or the arts in general.
In Greek Mythology, Mount Parnassus was the home of the Muses – the nine goddesses of the arts. Clementi’s Gradus comprises 100 pieces published in three volumes (1817, 1819, and 1826).
In its original form, it includes a great variety of pieces, intended to tap all of a player’s musical resources – miniature sonatas, fugues, fantasias etc. In the late 1850s, Liszt’s pupil Carl Tausig prepared and eventually published an new edition of the work, mostly including the purely technical exercises. These were parodied by Debussy in “Doktor Gradus ad Parnassum” from Children’s Corner.

What customers said about pianostreet.com:

"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well. It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music." Andrea Boltresz, piano teacher Robertson, Australia

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work." Paul, Llansannan, UK.

"Wonderful service! [...] I have no reservation in recommending it as a “must” to all pianists, both teachers and students, amateur and professional." Read full review >> Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away." Robert York, pianist Long Beach, California

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music. Steve D. Allen, Ph.D. Owner/Piano Teacher, Allen Music Studio Houston, Texas www.allenmusicstudio.net
