by Charles K. Moss, M.M.Ed., M.Mus. Even today, the piano works of Muzio Clementi are known to every serious student of the piano. For the developing pianist, Clementi's Sonatinas of Opus 36 are essential precursors to the more technically demanding Classical Sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, as well as Clementi's own masterfully penned Sonatas . Clementi's influence as a composer is most strongly evident in the keyboard works of Haydn and especially in the early piano Sonatas of Beethoven, who was a fervent admirer of these works. Muzio Clementi is commonly called the father of modern piano playing, but it may be that this accolade should be properly shared between Clementi and C.P.E. Bach, a composer whose works Clementi studied with great care and whose works influenced Clementi's own style greatly. Muzio Clementi was born in Rome, Italy, in 1752 as the eldest of the seven children of Nicolò Clementi, a successful silversmith, and Magdalena Kaiser. Nicolò became aware of his son`s musical talent when the child was very young. When he was seven, Clementi began his formal musical instruction. He was such a good a pupil that by age 13 he gained a position as a church organist. In 1770, Clementi gave his first public performance as a pianist. His audience was greatly taken with his playing, and this was the beginning of a very successful career as a concert pianist. Apparently in 1774, Clementi was freed from his obligations to Peter Beckford, and he moved to London. His first known public appearances were as a solo harpsichordist at benefit concerts for a singer and a harpist in the spring of 1775. During the next four years, his participation in London concert life as a soloist was rare since he served as "conductor" (from the keyboard) at the King’s Theatre, Haymarket for at least part of this period. His name was seen in concert programs with increasing frequency in 1779 and 1780, no doubt owing to the popularity of his Opus 2

Clementi, Muzio (1752 - 1832) The piano music of Muzio Clementi, or at least his pedagogical Gradus ad Parnassum, has in part been well enough known to generations of ambitious keyboard-players. Clementi himself, born in Rome in 1752, was taken as a boy to England by Peter Beckford, cousin of the eccentric William Beckford. There he developed his abilities as a performer. His subsequent career brought success as a composer, teacher and pianist, and later as a manufacturer of pianos. He died at Evesham in 1832. Piano Music Clementi wrote a great deal of music for the piano, including more than a hundred sonatas. He published a number of pedagogical works, of which the Introduction to the Art of Playing the Piano Forte and Gradus ad Parnassum are the best known. Recommended Recording Naxos 8.550452

Clementi's sonatas employ both virtuosity and an intense quality of expression, elements that distinguish them somewhat from the works of Haydn and Mozart and that are forerunners of Beethoven's style."* The composer of the definitive Classical piano sonata, Clementi was one of the first to create keyboard works expressly for the capabilities of the pianoforte. Acclaimed as the father of modern piano technique and the first virtuoso on the instrument, this complex and influential musician was also a celebrated teacher, an orchestral conductor (having composed several symphonies), a music publisher, and piano manufacturer. Clementi's influence extended well into the 19th century, with composers using his sonatas as a model for their keyboard compositions. Beethoven, in particular, had the highest regard for Clementi and not only admired his piano sonatas but placed them above those of Mozart in importance.

DDD Athene ATH CD4 Crotchet This disc is a delight. I will not discuss the square piano as the notes with the CD do this admirably. What I want to do is recommend Clementi as a composer and give further indication, although this is unnecessary, of the unequalled stature of Peter Katin both as a pianist and musician. Muzio Clementi was born in Rome in 1752; he moved to London in 1774 and died in Evesham in 1832. He promoted Mozart only to be repaid by Mozart's undeserved dislike of him ... which may put a different light on the Mozart - Salieri story. Clementi was a sensational pianist and a deservedly respected teacher. Among his pupils were Field, Moscheles, Kalkbrenner and Cramer. He composed symphonies, a piano concerto, about a hundred piano sonatas which were greatly admired by Beethoven and that, in itself, is some accolade! He was probably one of the first composers to write what might be described as 'educational' music with his volume of a hundred studies Gradus ad Parnassum The music has charm, elegance and wit ... and, thankfully, they are neither weakly delicate nor affected. They are strong but not demonstrative; they do not dream or linger or become tedious. The thematic material is always purposeful and never banal ... in fact, it is often memorable. The pieces have a wonderful sense of continuity; the music never gets bogged down. And I am convinced that Peter Katin's insight into the sonatas and his understanding of the music realises these qualities. Other pianists might play these works with that thistledown prissiness and baroquish lingering affection. As Claudio Arrau once said, "We observe rests in the music but we do not turn them into cracks."

Muzio Clementi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Muzio Clementi January 24 March 10 ) was a classical composer , and acknowledged as the first to write specifically for the piano . He is best known for his collection of piano studies, Gradus ad Parnassum Muzio Clementi edit Biography Muzio was born in Rome in 1752, the first of seven children, to Nicol² Clementi , a highly respected silversmith and Roman by heritage, and Magdalena Kaiser , who was Swiss. His musical talent became clear at an early age: by age seven he was in musical instruction, and was such a good student that by age 13 he gained a position as a church organist. In 1766, Sir Peter Beckford (1740–1811), a wealthy Englishman and cousin of the eccentric William Beckford , took an interest in the boy's musical talent, and struck a deal with Nicol² to take Clementi to his estate of Steepleton Iwerne , just north of Blandford Forum in Dorset England — where Beckford agreed to provide quarterly payments to sponsor Clementi's musical education. In return for this education, Clementi was expected to provide musical entertainment at the estate. It was here that Clementi spent the next seven years in devoted study and practice at the harpsichord . His compositions from this early period, however, are few, and they've almost all been lost.

20. Muzio Clementi Biography muzio clementi Biography. muzio clementi (17521832) Czerny referred toclementi as the foremost pianist of his time. http://www.wolfmusic-publications.com/clementi.html

The composer of the definitive Classical piano sonata, Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) was the first to create keyboard works expressly for the capabilities of the pianoforte. Acclaimed as the father of the pianoforte and modern piano technique, this complex and influential musician was also the first virtuoso on the instrument. Clementi was a celebrated composer and teacher, orchestral conductor, symphonic composer, music publisher, and piano manufacturer. Clementi's influence extended well into the 19th century, with composers using his sonatas as models for their keyboard compositions. Beethoven, in particular, had the highest regard for Clementi and not only admired his piano sonatas but placed them above those of Mozart in importance. Beethoven as I Knew Him , ed. Donald M. McArdle, trans. Constance Jolly, Chapel Hill and London, 1966). Schindler continues with reference to Beethoven's fondness for Clementi's piano sonatas: "For these he had the greatest preference and placed them in the front rank of pieces appropriate to the development of fine piano playing, as much for their lovely, pleasing, fresh melodies as for the well knit, fluent forms of all the movements." In Moscheles edition of Schindler's biography he quotes Schindler as follows: "Among all the masters who have written for pianoforte, Beethoven assigned to Clementi the very foremost rank. He considered his works excellent as studies for practice, for the formation of a pure taste, and as truly beautiful subjects for performance. Beethoven used to say...'They who thoroughly study Clementi, at the same time make themselves acquainted with Mozart and other composers; but the converse is not the fact.' "
