Clementi, a Classical period composer and keyboardist. Born into a craftsman's family in Rome, he moved to London in his youth and subsequently made it the base of his activities. He left works in various genres, including symphonies, concertos, and chamber music, but his keyboard works are particularly numerous. His Sonatinas are widely known as introductory teaching materials for piano students.Mozart and was described as 'tasteless and mechanical.' However, it is said that at this time, Clementi, though renowned as a harpsichordist, was not yet accustomed to the piano. Clementi later began manufacturing musical instruments. He achieved success as an entrepreneur, selling pianos with talented pupils like John Field and Klenge as demonstrators (though it is also said he was a harsh taskmaster), and also engaging in music publishing.
