CRAMER, JOHANN BAPTIST (17711858) ,
English
  musician, of German extraction, was born in
Mannheim
 , on the 24th of
February
  1771. He was the son of Wilhelm Cramer (1743-1799), a famous London violinist and musical conductor, one of a numerous family who were identified with the progress of music during the 18th and 19th centuries. Johann Baptist was brought to London as a child, and it was in London that the greater
part
  of his musical efforts was exercised. From 1782 to 1784 he studied the pianoforte 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 died in London on the 16th of
April
  1858. Apart from his pianoforte-playing Cramer is important as a composer, and as
principal
  founder in 1824 of the London music-publishing
house
  of Cramer & Co. He wrote a number of sonatas, &c., for pianoforte, and other compositions; but his Etudes is the
work
  by which he lives as a composer. These " studies " have appeared in numerous editions, from 1810 onwards, and became the staple pieces in the training of pianists.
