Creative Performance of Sonatina by Muzio Clementi

Hi. My name is Andrei Kinev. I am in the eighth grade, and today I will play a sonatina by Muzio Clementi. This piece, Sonatina op. 36 no. 3, is a sonatina that has three parts; however, today I will only play the first two. This composition is enjoyable to play. The first part is quick, bright, and lengthy. The second part is short but unhurried. I also noticed a curious formation in this piece: both the first and second parts have an element where segments repeat twice, without change. I believe that this is a strategy that the composer used. For example, two pages repeat in part one. The first time we listen to this part we hear it not knowing what happens next. The second time we already know, and we hear it differently. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks, Andrei
