Graceful G Major

The Sonatina in G major Op 36 no 2 offers the player a slightly greater challenge than the first sonatina from the same opus. The first movement, a graceful Allegretto, challenges the player with an increased quantity of sixteenth-note runs, which need to be executed with evenness and elegance. The second movement, also marked Allegretto, has a calmer pace, the hands conversing in dotted rhythm. The final movement, an Allegro in 3/8, ends the sonatina on an energetic note.

Background

Clementi’s “Six Progressive Sonatinas for the Piano Forte” Op. 36 were published in 1797 and revised in 1820. They offer the intermediate student a series of delightful little pieces to use for developing their talents, ordered in gently escalating difficulty. Today, they rank among Clementi’s most well-known works, remaining a staple in the teaching repertoire all over the world.
