Extra Information A piece for the entertainers. Clementi provides a stage for the pianist to react to their own playing as they wander through endless measures of repetitive fragments to express boredom. There are rests that are musical death but theatrical gold. Body posture, facial grimacing, turning to face the audience, rolling eyes – there is room for so much clowning whether understated or obvious. A true character piece.
