JOHANN BAPTIST CRAMER

My thanks to Alessandro G. Simonetto for the picture.

1771 --- 1858

Johann Baptist Cramer was yet another name connected with music publishing. The firm of Cramer and Co. still flourishes.

It was founded by that J.B.Cramer whose studies have achieved immortality and made his name a household word.
He was a German, a pupil of Clementi, but he established himself in London after gaining Continental fame as a pianist.

He wrote many things for the piano, but nothing to match the studies, the poetical spirit of which has always made them agreeable to both pupils and teachers.

There is a very good story of Cramer. Once, when filling a professional engagement at Manchester, England, he went to dine with a friend and greatly praised a dish of turnips on the table.
Not long after, Cramer received a letter from his host saying that he had sent by waggon a present of "a few turnips."
The present arrived, a whole hogshead of turnips, and Cramer had the felicity of paying two guineas for the carriage.

The above was written by Cuthbert Haddon in 1916.
