Hope you enjoyed the very first 'official' KZfaq recording of our Frenzel Viennese Pianoforte ( • Clementi Sonata C Majo... ). There is a lot to share on Muzio Clementi, the incredible influence he had on composers like Mozart, Beethoven and many many others, how these early sonatas presented a kind of novelties to the world, both in terms of technique and 'language'. In this video, I'll give you some background, context, we'll demonstrate some passages on the pianoforte, and of course we'll talk a tiny little bit on tempo as well.
If you have questions or suggestions regarding Clementi or this sonata, share those with the AS community below!

Thank you for this insight ! Your videos are beautifully presented. It's commonly known that Clementi is the father of Legato.

Kalkbrenner wrote in his piano school that Clementi was the best pianist he has ever heard.He also said that Clementi is the foundation of piano technique.

In fact, Clementi published his Op.2 Sonatas in 1779! Pretty remarkable!

Certainly, in my opinion, 7 - 8 notes per second is very fast indeed. I took your original recording through 2X, and found that much faster than your original tempo affects the musicality. Sure, if you're trying to impress people with your acrobatics, by all means, play to the limit of the "twitch"* of your muscles; however, if you want to "... [S]trike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman", as Beethoven is quoted as saying, bring your playing to that level of emotion.

I understand you are trying to tune your Frenzel to equal temperament - if it cooperates with you. To what Diapason are you tuning? A=415? I would suspect an instrument of that era would be set there.

Please play some Couperin. also Scarlatti and Ramaeu would be awesome to hear.

I thought the sonata was wicked fast. I assumed you were showing how early pianos are as fast as modern single beat. I didn't have any sense that you were at the limit of the kbd.
