Clementi Sonatas
on: July 04, 2005, 10:31:59 AM
I've already searched through the Forum but haven't quite found the info I was looking for, so I wonder if anyone can help.
It's about the Clementi sonatas ( not the Sonatinas).
Can anyone provide a list of them and approximate levels of difficulty?
Any Mp3 recording links would be a bonus!
Thank you  :)

There is a list on www.pianopedia.com. I don't know if it is accurate.

A lot if not all of the Sonatas have been recorded on the Naxos label and are therefore rather cheap.

As for the difficulty, I have only ever played the F Sharp Minor Op 25 No 5. The presto thirds in the last movement would easily denote grade 8 level in England.

I have suggested them to my students, but only recently did one bite. Actually he discovered them on his own, and brought the f# minor, which we are learning in it's entirety.

I teach them and recently played one at a recital.  Once as an encore I played one of his etudes.  Check out the toccata too.
