Steemit Openmic Week 49: Clementi Sonatina Op 36 No 3 (cover)
I really wanted to play something upbeat for you guys, so I decided to play Muzio Celementi's Sonatina Op 36 No 3.
I struggled with finding a fast piece to play because I've been suffering from carpal tunnel related to other heath issues, so I couldn't manage a more sophisticated piece. Then I rediscovered this sonatina, or "little solo piece" and decided this was perfect.
Muzio Clementi was a contemporary of Mozart, and actually competed against him to see who was "the best". There wasn't a consensus on the winner, so apparently he was quite adept at playing and improvising like Mozart was! This piece is a favorite of mine, so I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for heading up the #Openmic contest.

I very much enjoyed this along with the tidbit of history furnished about Muzio Clementi vs. Mozart. Your choice to play "Sonatina" this week was indeed a perfect one - as was your performance!
Apparently Mozart had some not-so-kind words to say about Clementi's playing, but Clementi highly regarding Mozart's playing and compositions. ;)
That's quite interesting... Knowing that inclines me to embrace an affinity toward Clementi vs. Mozart.
I think Mozart was a far better composer, but Clementi is definitely worth checking out!
Thanks, I'll trust your ear on that distinction before my own. ;-)
This one was very happy sounding. Despite carpal tunnel, you still played masterfully. God's grace is strong in our weakness. Upvoted and resteemed!
Thanks, Matt! God is good and I pray He will take this carpal tunnel from me completely so I can keep playing!

This is awesome. Am I the only one memorized by the speed of her moving fingers ?!
Awesome job dear :)
Thank you, my fingers have a mind of their own sometimes and take off LOL
That was fun.

bad news. I took this vote away.
good news. I replaced it with 100% upvote!
This is peppy and energetic. I miss hearing your music.
Really cool dynamics on this one . From the flighty high notes to the stabbing chords. Is there any chance you can get the camera closer so we can see those fingers flying
Sure, I can zoom in. I had it far away because of the sound, but I can zoom :)
I can not believe. Thank you for the useful post. Continue in the same direction.
Thanks for your encouragement!
Good job!
Thank you for listening!
