[edit] Recordings

These should not be listed as recordings, because they are midi files, and are not recordings of a performer. 76.22.79.194 23:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italian or English?

Clementi lived in England from the age of 14, and, I believe, was a UK subject. All of his compositional work was done in England. Should he not be categorised as an English composer?

[edit] External link to the Muzio Clementi Society website

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you regarding the possibility of adding an external link to the Muzio Clementi Society website (www.clementisociety.com) from the article on Muzio Clementi in Wikipedia.

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the work of Clementi as composer, pianist, music publisher, and instrument maker. The Muzio Clementi Society was precisely created to promote all these aspects of Clementi's career. It is a non-profit society, with sole aim to promote the image of Clementi as an outstanding musical figure of the late eighteenth - early nineteenth centuries. The website of the Muzio Clementi Society provides information on, and link-access to scholarly publications on Clementi that are available to the general public. Also of interest in the site are: an illustrated page on instruments made by Clementi & Co., a sample of mp3s of Clementi's music, and information on Clementi's work 'Selection of Practical Harmony', currently out of print.

Yours sincerely,
