Complete Piano Sonatas

Hélène de Montgeroult was a student of Clementi in Paris. Her compositional language in these nine sonatas is wide and includes Italianate models as well as elements that reflect the influence of Haydn and Mozart, with chromatic and surprising harmonies, and brilliantly athletic finales. These sonatas represent a major contribution to the French repertoire of the late Classical and early Romantic periods. (Grand Piano)
