=== Symphonic works ===
Clementi's symphonies are less well known. Though many of his manuscripts have been lost, autograph portions of his unpublished symphonies, which include everything from sketches to complete movements, are in the [[Library of Congress]] and the [[British Library]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Tyson |first=Alan |url=https://archive.org/details/ClementiCatalogueOfWorks/page/n109/mode/2up?view=theater |title=Thematic Catalogue of the Works of Muzio Clementi |publisher=Hans Schneider |year=1967 |location=Tutzing |pages=111–112 |oclc=457741 |author-link=Alan Tyson}}</ref> From these autographs, scholars have been able to reconstruct four symphonies. Clementi also published two symphonies as Op. 18 in 1787, the first in B-flat major and the second in D major. Clementi successfully performed his symphonies in London and other cities in Europe, predominantly from 1813 to 1828.<ref name=clive1979>Bennett, Clive, "Clementi as Symphonist," ''[[The Musical Times]]'' 120 (March 1979), pp. 207, 209–10.</ref> Based on performance reports, scholars estimate that he composed approximately twenty symphonies in total during his life.<ref name=clive1979 /> Clementi used the theme to "[[God Save the King]]" in his [[Symphony]] No. 3 in [[G major]] often called the "Great National Symphony", cataloged as [[WoO]] 34.

In 2002, for the 250th anniversary of his birth, scholars published new research about Clementi's life and works. Ut Orpheus is publishing the 61-volume set of Clementi's complete works, which will include new editions of his symphonies.<ref>Stewart-MacDonald, Rohan, "Muzio Clementi, Symphony No. 1 in C major, wo32, ed.
