Hearing this on the fortepiano made me realize that after Mozart heard Clementi play this piece, not only did he incorporate the motif of the first movement into the Prague Symphony and The Magic Flute, but the next piano sonata he composed was also in B-flat and also included a cadenza. The current hypothesis that KV 333 was composed in Linz in 1783 along with the C-major symphony makes sense in light of this. Mozart could very well have placed his cadenza in his first movement if he had found a convincing way to lead from the measured trill and cadence to a 6/4 chord. Clementi could have just as easily removed his insertion (from 5:04 to 6:00) and instead asked for repeats of both parts, as Mozart does; however, having a cadenza in the first movement just seems right in the case of Clementi’s Op. 24 No. 2.
Thanks Heaven you are not Mozart to compete with, so you could explore the beauty of this glamorous sonata by performing it in your own unique interpretation. One of the most beautiful moments can be heard in the 2nd half of the Allegro. Thanks for uploading and sharing.
Thanks for your comments, I certainly appreciate this and your others as well. Perhaps you could provide a time stamp for the place in the Allegro that you like, so that I and others can hear what you are pointing out.
I'm referring to the hidden melody at the right hand, starting at 3:17, moving from minor to major (mi b-fa-sol-fa, etc.), till 3:43, creating a dramatic meaningfull stress-effect (in contrast to mere bravura-pattern) 3 times up till the sigh-motive (around 3:35 - fa-mi) going down. This hidden melody was bought to light by your wonderful performance (or should I say - brought to ear...)
Dear Mr Hill, this is a wonderful performance! Could you please give a little more information about the pianoforte? And do you mind if I post a link to this video from my new Facebook group Georgian Keyboards? Tim Roberts
Hello? This is Lee Jung-min, who lives in Korea. This frequency is lower than the usual standard, how many HZ is it? And it sounds different from the piano we usually encounter. Or is it a piano? It's kind of like a harpsichord!

It was one of the exam piece in Grade 8 Final of the Associated Board Pianoforte Exam.
Mozart violated the copyright of this piano sonata in his overture to the Magic Flute !

It is a Viennese-style fortepiano from a model around 1795, tuned at about A=430, which was pretty normal at that time.
