Muzio Clementi

Muzio Filippo Vincenzo Francesco Clementi (1752-1832) may not have been as prolific of a composer as was Mozart, but he equaled him in piano-playing skills.

The Duel: Coke vs. Pepsi. Ali vs. Frazier. And in 1752 in Vienna, Clementi vs. Mozart. Both played some memorized pieces and did some improvisation. The duel was declared a draw by the Holy Roman Emperor (a typical politician). Today Clementi remains mostly in Mozart’s shadow, but not on this website.

Clementi also sold pianos. Mozart never did that.
