	Muzio Clementi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Muzio Clementi (January 24, 1752 – March 10, 1832) was a classical composer, and acknowledged as the first to write specifically for the piano.
		Clementi was born in Rome in 1752, the first of seven children, to Nicolò Clementi, a highly respected silversmith and Roman by heritage, and Magdalena Kaiser, who was Swiss.
		Clementi's sonatas are often more difficult to play than those of Mozart, who wrote in a letter to his sister that he would prefer she not play Clementi's sonatas due to their jumped runs, wide fingerspacing, and chords that he thought would cause injury for her to try to play.

	Muzio Clementi: Composer & Pianist (1752-1832)
		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.
		Clementi was asked by the Emperor Josef II to enter a musical playing contest with Mozart on December 24, 1781, for the amusement of the Emperor's guests, the Grand Duke (later Tsar Paul I) and Duchess of Russia.

	Muzio Clementi - Chronology
		Clementi's compositions of this period do not include orchestral works, though it is assumed that some of his sonatas were originally concertos or symphonies.
		During this period Clementi also began negotiations with Beethoven to acquire the rights to publish his music in the 'British Dominions': the agreement was sealed with a contract in 1807.
		The original tombstone was replaced in 1877 with the present one, on which Clementi is remembered as the 'father of the pianoforte'.

		Clementi was a maligned composer in his day and it is only recently that he has begun to emerge as a composer of distinction.
		Clementi's Gradus ad parnassum is a collection of a hundred piano exercises which have troubled students for years since educational piano music raises technical problems that many would not wish to face.
		Muzio was born in Rome on 23 January 1752 of a Roman father, who was an accomplished craftsman in silver, and Swiss mother.

	Contemporaries of Mozart: Muzio Clementi - MozartForum
		Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) was the first to create keyboard works expressly for the capabilities of the pianoforte.
		Muzio [Filippo Vincenzo Francesco Saverio] Clementi, was born in Rome, January 23 1752 and the following day baptized in the local church of S. Lorenzo in Damaso.
		Clementi’s stature in music history as an editor and interpreter of Beethoven's music is certainly not less than as being a composer himself.

	Muzio Clementi
		Buroni and Cordicelli were his first masters, and at the age of nine Clementi's theoretical and practical studies had advanced to such a degree that he was able to win the position of organist at a church.
		In May 1782 Clementi returned to London, where for the next twelve years he continued his lucrative occupations of fashionable teacher and performer at the concerts of the aristocracy.
		Of Clementi's playing in his youth, Moscheles wrote that it was "marked by a most beautiful legato, a supple touch in lively passages, and a most unfailing technique." Mozart may be said to have closed the old and Clementi to have founded the newer school of technique on the piano.

	HOASM: Muzio Clementi
		An Englishman, Peter Beckford, heard him play in 1766 and paid Clementi's father to allow him to take the boy to his English country estate for intensive musical studies, and to serve as his house musician.
		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.
		The latter wrote to his father of Clementi's remarkable technique, especially in passages of thirds or octaves.

	Muzio Clementi Biography
		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.
		Clementi was a celebrated composer and teacher, orchestral conductor, symphonic composer, music publisher, and piano manufacturer.
		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."

		This Clementi disk is the follow-up to his debut CD – Book 2 of Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier, recorded when he was 10.
		I just don’t think Clementi warrants a CD devoted to five of his piano sonatas, least not when the recording is being used as a vehicle to showcase the talents of a supposedly stellar new talent.
		Clementi was bought at the age of fourteen from his own father by young English aristocrat Peter Beckford in Rome, and shipped to a rural estate in Dorset, England, largely to play the harpsichord for the amusement of Beckford’s well-heeled friends.

		Now if Clementi had really left the music as bare of expression marks as the Heugel edition (and maybe that followed by Tipo) lets us suppose, then Tipo’s solutions would be perfectly acceptable.
		However, while Maria Tipo may be the victim of a poor edition, and cannot be blamed for this since the Henle was not available to her, at the same time her general approach (maybe under the influence of this edition) does seem inclined towards lessening the stronger qualities of the music.
		While I accept that to storm about in Clementi as if he were Beethoven can be counter-productive, I find her too willing to stem the flow and drift into a poetic revery of her own.

		Clementi composed almost 110 piano sonatas (most of them sonatinas), many of which are still played and many are popular practice pieces in piano education.
		Clementi's sonatas are often more difficult to play than Mozart's, though - Mozart, in fact, wrote in a letter to his sister that he would prefer she not play the Clementi's sonatas due to their jumped runs, wide fingerspacing, and chords that he thought would cause injury for her to try to play.

		Clementi's piano ensemble works may not plumb the virtuosic or harmonic depths characterizing his best solo piano sonatas, yet you can't deny the composer's unerring ear for both the duet and two-piano mediums.
		The "pingy" resonance of the Seiler piano employed for this recording adds further tonal allure to the Genova and Dimitrov duo's suave, effortless repartee, stylish wit, and flawless ensemble.
		In short, this is a thoroughly enjoyable, well produced release, and one of the best Clementi piano discs in the catalog.

		Clementi’s remark that notes should be held their full length is in direct contradiction to the advice of C. Bach and Türk, and demonstrates a key stylistic difference between the heavier, more sustaining English pianos and the lighter and more detached Central European instruments.

		For instance, the Italian composer generated great dramatic contrasts through an almost-symphonic grasp of dynamic momentum, and had a knack for effortless asymmetrical phrase shapes and the use of silence to beckon the listener's attention.
		Clementi's keyboard deployment is more overtly virtuosic and flamboyantly projected than anything his younger rival Mozart concocted, although never as deep.
		I hope that this disc will be the forerunner of a complete Clementi cycle from this gifted young pianist, whose brilliant work is gorgeously engineered.
