This album is entirely dedicated to the piano works of Muzio Clementi, the "father of the piano". Clementi composed almost 110 piano sonatas. Erik Satie, a contemporary of Debussy, later parodied the style of the early sonatas (also "Sonatinen") in his "Sonatine bureaucratique"
For the first double CD of his planned recording of all Clementi piano sonatas, Giacomo Scinardo has selected an attractive selection of well-known (op. 50 / 3, "Didone abbandonata") and unknown, but no less charming, works. Clementi's piano sonatas are still an essential part of the pianistic training of professionals and amateurs. A new recording of these stylistically versatile works is therefore highly welcome.
