Originaire d'une famille d'artisans italiens, Muzio Clementi mourut � quatre-vingts ans dans l'aisance, en gentleman anglais. Contrairement � la plupart de ses compatriotes compositeurs, il se consacra essentiellement � la musique instrumentale.
L'Angleterre fut son lieu de r�sidence principal d�s son adolescence, ce qui ne l'emp�cha pas de voyager sur le continent � sept reprises, y rencontrant les plus grands: Mozart, � qui l'opposa un duel pianistique organis� � Vienne par Joseph II, et Beethoven. Compositeur et pianiste, �diteur de musique et facteur de pianos, artiste mais aussi commer�ant, Clementi fut appel� de son vivant le p�re du pianoforte . S'il arr�ta assez t�t de se produire en soliste en public, sa longue carri�re servit de mod�le aux innombrables pianistes virtuoses itin�rants des premi�res d�cennies du XIXe si�cle.
Certaines de ses pi�ces furent travaill�es depuis deux si�cles par tous les apprentis pianistes, mais ce n'est pas l� que se limita son talent. Leur int�r�t d�passe leur aspect didactique et concerne la musique � proprement parler: Clementi fut le principal cr�ateur du style pianistique moderne, tant au plan technique que sonore, ce dont s'inspir�rent aussi bien ses �l�ves (John Field entre autres) que les compositeurs de la g�n�ration suivante, avec � leur t�te Beethoven.

Par son ouvrage-somme consacr� � Haydn, Marc Vignal est l'un des meilleurs sp�cialistes du classicisme viennois. Il est �galement l'auteur d'un Mahler, des Fils Bach et de Mozart et Haydn.
