Muzio Clementi
January 23, 1752 - March 10, 1832
born in Rome, Italy, composed during the Classical period
born in Rome, Italy, composed during the Classical period
Although born in Rome, Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) is counted as an English composer, pianist, teacher, publisher, and instrument manufacturer, sometimes referred to as "father of the piano" and sometimes as "a mere mechanicus," as Mozart called him. Clementi's goals were to make sure his instruments were the best; that music was available for all levels of performers, and that anyone -- particularly the emergent middle class -- could enjoy good music at home. His students included composer John Field, and his lasting legacy in terms of piano repertoire are the Gradus ad Parnassum set of exercises and his 100+ sonatas. ~ Patsy Morita, Rovi

Comments
I recently began to play Muzio Clementi Sonatinas and must admit I'm a work in progress, but they are extremely useful to a beginning pianist.
The trills in his arrangements are always challenging, but without them it would be bland. Bravo to Clementi - the silent genius.
