Sonatina Op. 36, No. 1 (2/3)

II : Andante - Sonatina in C Major - Sonatine

This Andante is the second movement of this beautiful three movement sonatina by Muzio Clementi.

Clementi's Sonatina Op. 36, No. 1 has three movements :

1. Allegro
2. Andante
3. Vivace

The present sheet music includes the second movement, labelled Andante.

Please note that this score contains suggestions for realizing the ornaments in accordance with the performance practice of the Classical period.

Depending on the pianist's ability, the trills may be played with more repercussions.

However, the notes of the trill's suffix should be played at the same speed as those in the trill.

In measure 12, the original edition contains a staccato mark on the third beat (right hand) as Clementi's own indication. However, the note should not be given any special emphasis, but merely played with an ordinary lifting touch.

Finally, in measure 25, the trill's suffix does not appear in the source. It should nevertheless be added to the trill, as Clementi clearly states in his Introduction to the Art of Playing on the Piano Forte.

Duration : 01:18
