Clementi - Six Sonatinas Op. 36

Piano Repertoire

• Clementi – Six Sonatinas, Op. 36 is a complete pedagogical and performance edition of Muzio Clementi’s celebrated set of sonatinas—among the most important foundational works in the early Classical piano repertoire.

  This volume includes all six Sonatinas from Op. 36, carefully engraved in a clean, modern format and prepared for developing pianists. These works form a cornerstone of classical piano training, bridging elementary study and full-scale sonatas through clear structure, elegant phrasing, and balanced technical demands.

  The six sonatinas systematically develop essential Classical-era skills, including:

  • Even finger articulation and hand coordination

  • Alberti bass and broken-chord accompaniment patterns

  • Classical phrasing, balance, and articulation

  • Scale passages, simple ornamentation, and rhythmic precision

  • Musical shaping across multi-movement forms

  Each sonatina is presented in three movements, exposing students to standard Classical forms such as Allegro, Andante/Adagio, and Vivace, and preparing them for later works by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven.

  The engraving emphasizes clarity, spacing, and readability to support efficient practice and confident performance. The layout minimizes visual clutter while preserving Clementi’s original musical intent, making this edition ideal for lessons, examinations, and recital preparation.

  Each movement includes a QR code linking to a reference performance, allowing pianists to study tempo relationships, articulation, phrasing, and stylistic character. QR access also provides alternate page-layout versions where available, including formats designed to reduce or eliminate page turns during performance.

  Clementi’s Six Sonatinas, Op. 36 are standard repertoire in piano pedagogy worldwide and remain essential for building a strong Classical foundation. This edition is designed to serve students, teachers, and institutions as a reliable, performance-ready resource.

  This book is published by Road to Virtuosity (RTV) — an international music organization dedicated to structured repertoire, musical growth, and performance-ready educational resources.
