Totally agree! Got a copy of the Sonatas and Sonatinas without direct intention and love them for the same reason, I feel so light and satisfied after playing. They aren't necessarily easy either as they require poise and balance and a calm demeanor. After a long six hours of practicing Boulez and Babbit and Shoenberg, Clementi is certainly a wonderful palate cleaner.
Lody Neervoort No. 5 is the best one of the set. I love the melodies of the first movement. The second movement is delightful and incorporates a Swiss folk song tune. And the brilliant Allegro di molto finale clearly borrows the melody of a pop song by Phil Collins, Groovy Kind of Love. Now what Clementi does with the simple motive is astonishing and (almost) Beethovenesque.
I played this first sonatina as a student and I’ve always loved it. I don’t really remember the 2nd and 3rd movements but I remember the first quite well...50 years later :~)
magentuspriest , Veteran pianists can learn this in hours or less, yes. I can't learn this in hours, but it doesn't discourage me, and neither should it for you. Practice on sight reading. About a year and a half ago I had troubles with Clementi's 1st and 3rd sonatinas. Now, I look back at them and chuckle to myself with the sight reading practice I have done. I can learn pieces and sight read much more easily, and still continue to practice sight reading.
@@magentuspriest A day or two for each is a bit of a rush. Pay attention to detail.I played these sonatinas starting at age 3 and I am now 75 and I still play them. I can spot every detail and any single mistake of any player from absolute beginner to concert virtuoso.

sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Eric Landon Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I was listening to the first one and wondering "where have I heard this one before??" It's Satie!! Sonatine Bureaucratique!! Cool to know he based it on Clementi
I play this sonatinas on my piano. Because I have sight problems a ignore the "staccato" dots, so I almost never play staccato...but I enjoy it anyway.(Andrea Lanzoni with Grazia Villani's permission)
Technically speaking it's OK. The issue I have is that this is a "delicate piece" (as my ABRSM examiner told me and I used to hammer in a "percussive manner". Too fast. Mu teacher has told me repeatedly "Breath and relax" and this performance needs some breathing and a more relaxed tempo (IMO).
+claude herbert ostfeld Your opinion is passionately shared. These Sonatinas are lovely, but lose their charm at this utterly exaggerated speed (which is doing nothing, but show off, the players technical ability). Keep listening to your teacher ... he is right ;o)
A bit robotic for my taste. I've hammered these out many times, with a heavy touch as you mentioned, the percussive manner, but I enjoy the delicate pieces. If these are actually being played, the pianist has the dexterity and prowess, but it's overdone. Not a bit of expression. However, maybe I used a lot more expression myself, as it was fun to irritate the family while practicing just before suppertime, I, being all of age 11 or so at that time.... :)
Everyone thank you for your opinions and piano teachers guidance. I agree during performances. May I ask you, would practicing that way only during the learning and practice of technic provide a valuable exercise to enhance virtuosity-please ask your teachers. Thank you:)
I didn't do such stacato at the end of the first section of #2's 1rst movement. [Update: happens lots of other places, too] As I'm listening to this, I'm just not hearing any resonance from the lower notes. Like as if there's no sounding board. Is this a real piano? It's missing something.
Same here! Just a few years earlier, 5 years old. I remember how harsh mom was when I learnt this...beatings...punishment...starvation... BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!
I'm not an Asian, but I played them too at 9 years old. Surprisingly you don't have to be Asian at all to play these or the piano, or even be brutally punished by parents while doing so. Who'da thunk it?
I was neither Asian nor brutalized, but I played a few of these. Probably why I never mastered sight-reading - I mean the lack of brutality, not the failure to be Asian. Actually, I still play a hash of No. 3 from memory, over 40 years later. The complete lack of texture in these renditions does make me suspect it's a MIDI rendition.

why too many staccatos? in my practice of Clementi sonatinas, whenever i do a staccato on a regular note, it felt like im releasing the keys too fast. it's cute though :) i'm not a fan of sticking to the piece strictly , i also like putting my own style sometimes :D haha
The return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Savior, is very near. And this is eternal life: that they may know you alone as the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. John 17:3 So they were baptized who gladly received his word; and, on that day, almost three thousand souls were added. Acts 2:41 Look, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time will come. Mark 13:33
I´m tearing my hair of my head... this is so so dreadful... there´s now natural flow in tempo... but then again it may be in the way Clementi would have prefered it... this is nerv-recking...
@@huskayaken8252 so... now we are talking about grammar and not music then? It looks like four other people understood, inspite my grammar and all .... my native language is not english.
I love playing Clementi his music is so light n happy always play all his sonatas to loosen up my fingers n before tackling Beethoven 😁

Não julgo, só lembro o primeiro, o segundo sei algumas partes agora o terceiro, só de ouvido e olhe lá, kkk
:)
I played all of them and then I taught them...still love the best # 4, second part....I hold them dear, like I hold to my childhood....
Me, too. Even w/ not remembering the 2nd & 3rd. Probably because my instructor wanted to me move on to something else.
These sonatinas are a must for good foundation building for beginner / intermediate players.
Lar M - Im a 17 year old player, just now starting on these and takes me a day or two to work one up. Any advice?
magentuspriest ,
Why do you need help if you can learn these in 1 to 2 days?
Fidel Castro Because it seems like most people can learn these in just a couple of hours.
magentuspriest ,
Veteran pianists can learn this in hours or less, yes.
I can't learn this in hours, but it doesn't discourage me, and neither should it for you.

I am currently learning to play these so this recording has been hugely helpful. Boy do I have a lot to learn!
I was listening to the first one and wondering "where have I heard this one before??"
It's Satie!! Sonatine Bureaucratique!! Cool to know he based it on Clementi
This is such an extrodinary gift! THANK YOU:)
Thank you for the entire Opus on sheet music!
Bravo!! Beautiful playing. Thank you for sharing!
So, so beautiful.
I am the 100th comment. I believe I can speak for all and say thank you for sharing~
absolutely fantastic.
las s onatinas de Clementi son extraordinarias muy educativas
My teacher would scream at me if I did this many staccatos....
Your teacher must be Beethoven !
These are not staccatos. This is what it sounds like on authentic forte piano in the early 19th century.A transition from 18th century harpsichord.
Glenn Gould will protect you !
I guess Glenn Gould is your teacher's darkest nightmare :))
SeattleSleeper if I played this many... ✍️🎓🤓🙆♀️
It's like you play staccato every time you got the chance to... Lol

When You play piano, you need to play Czerny 100- Clementi Sonatina- MY ETUDES
All three of them are crucially important to improve ur technique. Especially if you are a beginner😂😂
The 4th sonatina gives me a lot of Mozart vibes.
Me: oh yes i play the piano
The piano i play :
I love it 😍
I’m Learning this for my grade3 exam!
Me encanta que a varios suscrtores les guste lo mismo.
I adore sonatina no. 5 and 6.

same with me he said no staccato let it breathe
I totally agree. It's too fast, too much unnecessary staccato, and no emotion.
Everyone thank you for your opinions and piano teachers guidance. I agree during performances.
May I ask you, would practicing that way only during the learning and practice of technic provide a valuable exercise to enhance virtuosity-please ask your teachers. Thank you:)
Clementi never thought that beginners would have a bit of a hard time with no.4 and no.6 💀
Para las que estudiaroon el piano
👏👏👏👏💖💖
The first movement of his second sonatina reminds me of Scarlatti sonatas.
Would all of these be considered intermediate level?
Yes, the 3 first sonatinas - early intermediate to intermediate
3 last sonatinas advanced intermediate

Is this a real piano? It's missing something.
This is most certainly not a real piano.
