O, Tell Me the Tale of Clementi

[Nightscape]

There once was a great composer named Clementi....

I would take a look at this thread: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,10780.msg111030.html#msg111030
This was created not too long ago.

You write, " There once was a great composer named Clementi...."

This sounds like the first line of a lymerick.  But take out "great" for rhythm's sake.

Let's see--

There once was a composer named Clementi
Who wrote sonatas and concertos aplenty --

Can anyone finish it?

[thalbergmad]

Some were good, some were fair
Some had artistic flair
But some were banal and quite empty

[Barbosa-piano]

My stupid continuation...

There once was a composer named Clementi
Who wrote sonatas and concertos aplenty --
And explored young Field, outraging many...
From the hands of an old master,
Colorful tunes emerged vividly,
With great technique on the piano's keyboard--

Can anyone keep on?...

[Barbosa-piano]

Some were good, some were fair
Some had artistic flair
But some were banal and quite empty

And among them was not Clementi.
Young Mozart thought him a Charlatan,
But no, Clementi was a good man...

Tss...
