They are hardly ever performed, let alone recorded. Even these days Italian composer Muzio Clementi is known to almost any amateur pianist because of his relatively simple piano sonatas (some 60) and sonatines. But although easy on the pianist and still in use in piano teaching this charming music by Mozart's contemporary should not be snuffed at.
Also being an established piano pedagogue in Londen Clementi greatly influenced future piano literature through many of his pupils such as Field, Cramer, Moscheles, Kalkbrenner and Meyerbeer.
Italian pianist Costantino Mastroprimiano is going to set the record straight by recording Clementi's complete piano sonatas on fortepiano. He starts with the 16 Viennese sonatas, from opus 7 to 41 played on copy of a 1790 instrument by Ludwig Dulcken.
