Synopsis

Amazon.com

Elsewhere I have had some very favorable things to say about Clementi piano music. Not this time, though. The music is very early Clementi. The Sonata without opus number was composed when he was 13, before he had anything original to say. The Sonatas of Op. 1 and 2 are still far from prime Clementi, filled with clichés and repetition. Perhaps a great pianist could make some of this music interesting. But Pietro Spada, a distinguished musicologist who has done much for Clementi's music, is an unimaginative pianist who fails to bring this music to life. A dispiriting experience! --Leslie Gerber
