Howard Shelleys series of Clementis piano sonatas is receiving great critical acclaim and is increasing popular interest in this under-recorded composer. The sonatas in the present volume date from the period just after Clementis adventures in Europe of 178083 that included an unfortunate and well-known confrontation with Mozart, and a protracted stay in Lyons. Clementi moved back to London and there had a considerable reputation as a performer, composer and teacher. His playing was praised, among other things, for its novel freedoms in tempo and dynamics in the service of heightened expression and those qualities are noticeable in the works recorded here.
