Third movement (Allegro agitato e con disperazione) of Sonata in G Minor op. 50 no. 3 "Didone Abbandonata" by Muzio Clementi (1752-1832), Italian-born English composer, virtuoso pianist and music publisher.

No. 3 in G Minor is the last of three Sonatas written for pianoforte by Clementi and published in 1821. It was titled after Metastasio's often-set opera libretto of the same name ([ Ссылка ]), and Clementi sought to tell the tragic story of Virgil's heroine instrumentally. It is the only example of such a programmatic piece in the composer's oeuvre.

Interpreted by Antoine Ngo.
