An expressive, singing theme opens Clementi's Gradus ad Parnassum, Op. 44 No. 61. Marked Allegro con espressione, this extended movement develops its lyrical beginning through passages of increasing harmonic and rhythmic intensity.
The first phrases rise gently over sustained lower harmonies, then acquire ornamental turns and stronger accents. A quieter passage reduces the texture to closely intertwined upper voices before fuller exchanges return. The central con fuoco passage brings a more forceful bass pattern and descending melodic lines, followed by sustained harmonies and renewed growth. The opening theme later returns, and its ideas expand into a broad final build-up, with repeated chords and rising bass figures supporting the closing harmony.
An interesting detail appears after the final chord: the score says Segue Adagio, pointing onward to a slow continuation in the surrounding suite.
