Muzio Clementi
Six Piano Sonatinas op. 36
> His interest in teaching is also shown by the “Six progressive Sonatinas” op. 36 – six sonatinas in ascending order of diffi culty, which are still extremely popular with today's piano teachers. Our Urtext edition follows the long established practice of using the musical text of the first edition from 1797. Clementi’s original fingering, which is surprisingly modern, has been included throughout the work.
