Clementi not only dedicated himself to the piano as a virtuoso and composer but also as a teacher, music publisher and instrument maker – so it is no wonder that he was referred to as the "Father of the Piano Forte" at the time. Alongside basic educational works he also wrote a great many instructive sonatas and sonatinas that form the basis of piano tuition even today. The Sonata in G Major – from his opus 37 that was published in 1798 – is a must for all budding pianists.
