Актуальность исследования обусловлена вниманием концертирующих фортепианных дуэтов к четырехручному репертуару. В связи с этим необходимо теоретическое осмысление данной темы, которая до сих пор не разрабатывалась в музыковедческой науке. Цель статьи — проследить эволюцию сонат Клементи для фортепиано в четыре руки, обозначить исторический контекст их появления и выявить типические черты. В исследовании предлагается двойной подход к рассмотрению сонат: они проанализированы с точки зрения эволюции стиля композитора в период 1779—1786 гг., а также в аспекте тематического процесса, воплощения сонатной структуры, четырехручной фортепианной фактуры.</p><p>Дуэтные сонаты Клементи (принадлежащие к числу первых четырехручных сонат, наряду с сонатами В.А. Моцарта, И.К. Баха, Ч. Берни) выстраиваются в линию, во многом отражающую его жизненные впечатления и репрезентирующую творческие искания. Первые три сонаты для фортепиано в четыре руки — как составной части op. 3 — написаны и опубликованы в Лондоне в период становления Клементи как виртуоза и педагога. Соната, открывающая op. 6, появилась в Париже, где он начал свое европейское турне; она отражает взаимодействие с корпусом современных музыкальных явлений. Ор. 14, состоящий из трех четырехручных сонат, воплотил романтические переживания молодого композитора во время пребывания в Лионе (посвящен Марии-Виктории Имбер-Коломе). В нем Клементи демонстрирует итоговые достижения в данном жанре. Исследователи относят сонаты op. 14, являющиеся полноценными концертными сочинениями, к числу лучших произведений Клементи и ставят их в один ряд с четырехручными произведениями Моцарта. В сонатах проявляется типичное для Клементи стремление к целостности формы, общности тематизма внутри частей и между частями, разнообразию фактуры.</p><p>Можно утверждать, что сонаты для фортепиано в четыре руки, наряду с сонатами для фортепиано соло, стали для композитора полем эксперимента в области фортепиано — инструмента, которому он посвятил свою исполнительскую, педагогическую и впоследствии коммерческую деятельность. Темперамент и экспрессия сонат Клементи в сочетании с виртуозностью делают их концертными сочинениями, которые в современной ситуации способны эффектно прозвучать на большой сцене. В то же время они могут быть и прекрасным учебным материалом для исполнителей различного уровня.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article considers seven sonatas for piano four hands by Muzio Clementi. The relevance of the research is accounted for by the attention paid by performing piano duos to the four-hand repertoire in its diversity. In this connection, there is a necessity of a theoretical analysis of this topic, which has not yet been discussed in music science. The article aims to trace the evolution of Clementi’s sonatas for piano four hands, outline the historical context of their creation, and identify their typical features. The research suggests a two-aspect approach to the analysis of the sonatas: they are looked at from the point of view of the evolution of the composer’s style in the period 1779—1786, as well as in terms of the thematic process, sonata structure and four-hands piano texture.</p><p>Clementi’s duet sonatas (belonging to the number of early four-hand works, together with the sonatas by W.A. Mozart, J.C. Bach, Ch. Burney) form a line reflecting his life impressions and representing his creative search. The first three sonatas for piano four hands — as an integral part of op. 3 — were written and published in London at the time when Clementi was gaining a reputation of a virtuoso and teacher. The sonata that opens op. 6 appeared in Paris, where Clementi started his European tour; it reflects his interaction with the contemporary music phenomena. Op. 14, which consists of three sonatas for piano four hands, was inspired by young composer’s romantic experience during his stay in Lyon (it is dedicated to Maria-Victoria Imbert-Colomes); the work sums up his achievements in this genre. Researchers list the sonatas of op. 14, which are full-fledged concert works, among Clementi’s best works and rank them on a par with four-hand sonatas by Mozart. In general, the sonatas show a tendency towards the unity of form, common thematic features within a piece, diversity of texture.</p><p>It is fair to say that the sonatas for piano four hands, as well as the composer’s solo sonatas, became for Clementi a field of experiments in the sphere of piano — an instrument to which he devoted his performing, teaching and, eventually, business activities. The temperament and expression of Clementi’s sonatas, combined with their virtuosity, makes them concert compositions that can sound impressively on the big stage in the modern situation. At the same time, they can also be an excellent training material for performers of different levels.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>теория и история искусства</kwd><kwd>музыкальное искусство</kwd><kwd>М.
