Johann Baptist CRAMER (1771-1858)
Johann Baptist Cramer (24 February 1771 – 16 April 1858) was an English musician of German origin. He was the son of Wilhelm Cramer (1746-1799), a famous London violinist and musical conductor of German origin, one of a numerous family who were identified with the progress of music during the 18th and 19th centuries.From 1782 to 1784 he studied the piano under Muzio Clementi, and soon became known as a professional pianist both in London and on the continent; he enjoyed a world-wide reputation, and was particularly appreciated by Beethoven. He was the English publisher of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 and is credited with giving it its nickname, "The Emperor". He died in London.
Johann Baptist Cramer was one of the most renowned piano performers of his day. He met Beethoven in Vienna, initiating a mutually rewarding relationship, and he renewed his friendly association with Haydn.
After 1800 Cramer's public career was centred almost entirely on England: following the very successful example of Clementi, Cramer entered the music publishing business. The large volume of Cramer's composition is only part of his musical achievement: Beethoven considered him the finest pianist of the day.
Apart from his piano playing, Cramer is important as a composer. He wrote a number of sonatas and other pieces for piano, and other compositions.
