Summary of This Collection
Considered one of the major composers of Northern Italy in the mid-18th century, Baldassare Galuppi is famous for his "opere buffe" with librettos by Carlo Goldoni, but his talent extends beyond opera. His writing reveals great versatility, and his instrumental output includes numerous sonatas for harpsichord, now very often performed on piano. This collection brings together several of these pieces carefully selected by Marcella Crudeli to offer a selection that is both enjoyable to listen to and rich musically.
Through these sonatas, the pianist engages with a language typical of the galant style: clear melodies, contrasts of affect, dialogues between registers, and rhythmic energy. This repertoire is ideal for refining touch quality, gaining precision in articulation changes, and developing a more mature sense of musical breathing. The technical challenges, while present, serve musicality: they encourage working on regularity, hand independence, clarity of passages, as well as flexibility in ornamentation and appoggiaturas according to 18th-century aesthetics.
By balancing playing pleasure and formative demands, this collection represents a fundamental step in the musical education of developing pianists. It is perfectly suited for lesson work, audition preparation, or enriching the classical piano repertoire with short to medium-length pieces that are expressive and immediately rewarding.
