    Clementi's influence extended well into the 19th century, with composers using his sonatas as models for their keyboard compositions. Ludwig van Beethoven, in particular, had the highest regard for Clementi. Beethoven often played Clementi sonatas and often a volume of them was on his music stand. Beethoven recommended these works to many people including his nephew Karl.

    A description of Beethoven's regard for Clementi's music can be found in the testimony of his assistant, Anton Schindler, who wrote "He (Beethoven) had the greatest admiration for these sonatas, considering them the most beautiful, the most pianistic of works, both for their lovely, pleasing, original melodies and for the consistent, easily followed form of each movement. The musical education of his beloved nephew was confined for many years almost exclusively to the playing of Clementi sonatas" (Beethoven as I Knew Him, ed. Donald M. McArdle, trans. Constance Jolly, Chapel Hill and London, 1966).

    Schindler continues with reference to Beethoven's fondness for Clementi's piano sonatas: "For these he had the greatest preference and placed them in the front rank of pieces appropriate to the development of fine piano playing, as much for their lovely, pleasing, fresh melodies as for the well knit, fluent forms of all the movements.”

    Moscheles' edition of Schindler's biography quotes the latter as follows: "Among all the masters who have written for piano, Beethoven assigned to Clementi the very foremost rank. He considered his works excellent as studies for practice, for the formation of a pure taste, and as truly beautiful subjects for performance. Beethoven used to say: ‘They who thoroughly study Clementi, at the same time make themselves acquainted with Mozart and other composers; but the converse is not the fact.’

    Sharona Joshua:

    Israeli-born Sharona Joshua studied the piano with the late Professor Alexander Volkov, and was awarded numerous scholarships during her studies at the Rubin Academy leading to a BMus degree in performance. In 1993 she studied fortepiano in London with the late Christopher Kite after being awarded a further scholarship to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

    Sharona is now based permanently in London where she appears regularly as soloist, chamber musician and continuo player on concert platform and on radio. She has given several performances each season at the South Bank Centre.

    Sharona teaches fortepiano and lectures at the Conservatoire in Birmingham City University.
