Muzio Clementi (23 January 1752 – 10 March 1832) was an Italian composer, virtuoso pianist, pedagogue, conductor, music publisher, editor, and piano manufacturer. Influenced by D. Scarlatti, J. Haydn and J.S. Bach, Clementi developed a fluent and technical legato style, which he passed on to a generation of pianists, including J. Field, Moscheles, Meyerbeer, Kalkbrenner, Hummel and Czerny. He was also a notable influence on Beethoven and Chopin. Clementi composed almost 110 piano sonatas, and was among the first to create keyboard works expressly for the capabilities of the piano.
