Felicja Blumental (1908-1991) • Prague New Chamber Orchestra / Alberto Zedda • Rec. 1969 • 00:00 1. Allegro con spirito • 09:44 2. Adagio cantabile con grande espressione • 16:28 3. Presto • From AllMusic: • Muzio Clementi's Piano Concerto in C major was composed sometime before 1793 and put into its current instrumental form by composer Johann Schenk, who created a copy of the work in 1796; Schenk's manuscript is located in the library of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, Austria. By that time, Clementi had already revisited the concerto in 1794, revising and condensing the piece in a hasty and roughshod fashion as his Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 33/3. Clementi's C major Concerto is a strong and outstanding effort, and it remains the only concerto by him known; while certainly more of them were composed by him for concerts played during his European tours of the 1780s, none of the other ones have survived. Possible candidates for further Clementi sonatas that may have originated as concertos include the Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 34/1 (1795), and the Piano Sonata in F, Op. 24/1 (1788). • Portrait of Felicja Blumental by Claude Rémusat
