| | HOASM: Muzio Clementi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | For the next seven years Clementi took advantage of the relatively isolated Dorsetshire setting, practicing harpsichord and producing his first compositions, a Mass and an oratorio (both lost), and keyboard sonatas. |
 | | He settled permanently in London, becoming a successful pianist, pedagogue, and music publisher; be continued to concertize, and his firm (originally a series of partnerships in which Longman and Clementi were name partners) thrived. |
 | | His musical legacy includes, in addition to the more than 100 piano sonatas (many accompanied), many works for 4-hand piano, two completed symphonies, four incomplete symphonies (two completed by Alfredo Casella), a Piano Concerto in C (1796), and many smaller works for piano. |
