MSU's classical radio station left me with a pretty little problem today.
It was a lovely piano sonata they played on my drive to work.
Their website at wkar.org has the playlists nicely arranged, so it 
was no problem to find out that what I had heard was 
Muzio Clementi's "Sonata in f-sharp minor for Piano, Op.25, No.5"
and that the pianist was Maria Tipo, and this was an Angel/EMI 
recording.
 
Alas, it doesn't seem to be in print, and very little by Maria Tipo 
seems to be in print -- just one VoxBox.
 
Any comments on either Maria Tipo or Muzio Clementi would be welcomed...
 
A few minutes later the station played another winner:  violinist 
Gil Shaham playing a "Carmen Fantasy" on themes from the opera.
This turns out to be from a Berlin Philharmonic disc with Claudio
Abbado conducting, and it's a gala with a program of all Carmen material.
This one will be no trouble to buy, if I want it.
