Three sonatas, Op. 33, were published in London by Longman and Broderip in 1794. The third of these, the Sonata in C major, Op. 33, No. 3, may be derived from an earlier piano concerto, or, as some have suggested, be the work from which a piano concerto had been arranged. The concerto is found in a 1796 copy by Johann Baptist Schenk. If it is the work of Clementi in this form, it may be taken as representative of concertos that formed part of his concert repertoire in the 1780s, no other example of which has survived. It opens with a brilliant sonata-form movement which includes demands for virtuosity, with due place found for a cadenza. The second of the three movements, marked Adagio e cantabile, con grand' espressione and in F major, provides an operatic aria that would be worthy of Mozart's Vienna, concluding with a brief cadenza. The sonata ends in a rondo that offers chances for virtuoso display.
