Muzio Clementi: piano pieces, easiest first
Muzio Clementi (1752–1832) was born in Rome and brought to England as a teenager, and he lived there for most of his life. He was one of the first great virtuosos of the piano, and more besides: a teacher, a composer of many sonatas, a music publisher and a maker of pianos. In 1781 he took part in a famous keyboard contest with Mozart in Vienna.
For students, Clementi is the composer of the Sonatinas, Op. 36, first published in 1797: six short sonatas that are still, more than two centuries later, where most pianists first meet the Classical sonata. His large book of studies, Gradus ad Parnassum, trained generations of pianists after them.
