Synopsis

Product Description
Howard Shelley s survey of the piano sonatas of Clementi has been acclaimed not only as a set of benchmark performances, but also as a rediscovery of a composer who was uniquely important in his lifetime. This set of Capriccios and Variations is something of a footnote to the series. These works demonstrate Clementi s lighter and more whimsical side, with many fantastical virtuoso flourishes of an improvisatory feel. Dramatic, radically experimental, often determinedly chromatic, these works show the aging composer still at work in the forefront of the most modern keyboard style.
