Clementi House is owned by Tom Stacey who very kindly allows us permission to use his family home once a year to host this competition. This competition is now in its fourth year. The venue has a Danemann baby grand piano. See photo below of the performance space. The room has a limited capacity.
This competition is open to pianists age 18 and under from beginner level through to a standard not to exceed Grade 3. If you have passed Grade 3 or a similar level, do have a look at our Muzio Clementi Junior Piano Award that takes place the following day in Tunbridge Wells.
Clementi House was the London home of Muzio Clementi (1752-1832), composer, pianist, and ‘Father of the Pianoforte’.
Through Clementi’s presence, the house became the musical ‘home’ in London of the young Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47). It was then the home of composer William Horsley (1774-1858) and his musical family, with whom Mendelssohn performed home-made operas in the drawing-room.
Mendelssohn was present at the betrothal in the house of Horsley’s daughter Mary to Isambard Kingdom Brunel, for which couple the composer dashed off a song. Its unpublished manuscript remains in the house till this day.
Clementi House was visited by many other outstanding musicians of the period, including Chopin, Bellini, Joachim, and Ignaz Moscheles.
