It was my wish to include one of Clementi’s sonatinas in every recital. These works, though short, touch my heart every time and I performed my first Clementi sonatina when I was ten years old: recital no.2 finishes with one of my favourites. This recital showcases both Clementi’s middle and final stages in his compositional life. His absolute mastery of the keyboard is evident from his use of lyrical passages to virtuosic cascades of notes. A wonderful programme of music to perform.
