I really wanted to play something upbeat for you guys, so I decided to play Muzio Celementi's Sonatina Op 36 No 3.

I struggled with finding a fast piece to play because I've been suffering from carpal tunnel related to other heath issues, so I couldn't manage a more sophisticated piece. Then I rediscovered this sonatina, or "little solo piece" and decided this was perfect.

Muzio Clementi was a contemporary of Mozart, and actually competed against him to see who was "the best". There wasn't a consensus on the winner, so apparently he was quite adept at playing and improvising like Mozart was! This piece is a favorite of mine, so I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for heading up the #Openmic contest.
