The album of Clementi’s piano sonatas is the result of an invitation from Chinese scholar-pianist Chen Xueyuan. Together, they aimed to construct a comprehensive musical portrait of Clementi. Not only did they complete the recording, but they also devoted considerable effort to researching the musical forms and materials. Their goal is to present listeners with a fresh perspective on Clementi’s piano sonatas, as interpreted by contemporary pianists.
