A selection of 29 studies from “Gradus ad Parnassum” by Muzio Clementi is now avaliable in our sheet music library in an edition by Carl Tausig.
Clementi: Gradus ad Parnassum
In this edition Tausig has selected the most practical and profitable among the 100 studies.
Gradus ad Parnassum, composed 1817, was Clementi’s last published work.
The Latin phrase Gradus ad Parnassum means “Steps to Parnassus”.
Mount Parnassus was, by some accounts in Greek mythology, the home of the Muses – the nine goddesses of the arts. The phrase has therefore been used to refer to various books of instruction, or guides to making progress in literature, music, or the arts in general.
