27. A Selection from the Melodies of Different Nations, WoO 9
Muzio Clementi achieved early success as a widely-travelled pianist, performing for nobility and meeting Mozart, his journeys reflected in the Melodies of Different Nations. The Sonata in A flat major is his earliest surviving work, and the incomplete Allegro and Finale may have been intended as part of the famous Gradus ad Parnassum (Naxos 8572325-8). Based on a popular dance form, the delightful Monferrinas reveal Clementi’s charming side, each one presenting a uniquely interesting character.
