England was at the forefront of piano development in the early 1800s, and Clementi’s former pupil ‘that very clever fellow’ the composer and pianist Johann Baptist (‘Glorious’ John) Cramer was also a major figure in the development of both piano playing and instrument building in London. As a pianist, Cramer was the only contemporary Beethoven really admired – not a ‘note spinner’ as Beethoven called others. Cramer is credited with creating the nickname for Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto, ‘Emperor’.
This is a fascinating programme from Dejan Lazić who had some interesting detective work tracking down the score of the Cramer. His sonata is wonderful music that deserves to be heard, and Dejan is a superb advocate for Clementi and Cramer as well as Beethoven.
