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.

wonderful! and congratulations on rolling out the Frenzel.

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

@@AuthenticSound I hope that one day you'll have a look at Clementi's last and greatest sonata, the one in G minor Op.50 no.3 'Didone Abandonata'. (Plus, it has some very interesting metronome marks from Clementi himself! ;-))

thank you so much!! You're videos inspire me and make me so happy

8:43 What kind of a poltergeist is playing with your organ there? Very interesting insight to the Clementi piece, Wim. Umm wasn't it that Mozart told his sister not to play Clementi because it would ruin her touch with all the stretches? Always found it funny. Not sure if it ruins your touch, but never enjoyed to play those stretches myself too much. :D

Nice !!!

Wim, i know what i'm about to say (write) has nothing to do with clementi (maybe? I dunno) But what about talking of Pancrace Royer? I think it would be interesting talk of baroque musicians before J.S Bach or vivaldi (maybe Buxtehude or a posibly teacher of Bach, Georg Böhm) Good video like all your content Wim

That's great music...perhaps real harpsichord music as well? We've done several earlier works on the channel, you can search for Buxtehude and Pachelbel, also some Sweelinck. The musical line is so stretched now that's hard to choose where to focus upon!

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. Wim has demonstrated over and over that a "WOW! he's fast" can be turned into a "Woooooouuuuuwwww, he's gooood ..." by taking a breath and bringing the timing down a bit. I have brought women to tears with the Waldstein by playing it at 88 - 92 bmp, especially the second theme in triplets. Out came the Kleenex[R]. Excellent analysis on this piece and demonstrating that the instrument itself forced upon the player ITS limitations as to where the tempo should be. * greatist.com/fitness/what-are-fast-and-slow-twitch-muscles

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.

Is it possible to play more on the fortepiano and talk less - i want to hear the fortepiano !this si valid for other videoclips you produce.

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

Scarlatti I've done a few : kzread.info/head/PLackZ_5a6IWUavhuhSVxnQX8ePUCaAiem the 'big' French baroque music actually is difficult on clavichord, it kind of requires that special sonority of a harpsichord

AuthenticSound I would love to see a harpsichord introduced one day! Would be very interested to hear your interpretation of music of that kind.

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.

Clementi's sonatas are better than Mozart's and as good as Haydn's!!

I think that Clementi's sonatas are vain virtuoso riot, perhaps except op. 41 and 50 where he outmatches himself. No comparison to Haydn and Mozart and a few others who made really and seriously music and not only void chirp.
