At the end of 1816, Clementi made another trip to the continent to introduce his new works, particularly at the [[Concert Spirituel|Concerts Spirituels]] in Paris. He returned to London in June 1818, after stopping off in [[Frankfurt]]. In 1821 he once again returned to Paris, conducting his symphonies in [[Munich]] and [[Leipzig]]. In London, in 1824 his symphonies were featured in five of the six programs at the 'Concerts of Ancient and Modern Music' at the King's Theatre.

In 1826 Clementi completed his collection of keyboard studies, ''[[Gradus ad Parnassum]]'', and set off for Paris with the intention of publishing the third volume of the work simultaneously in Paris, London, and Leipzig. After staying in Baden and most likely making another visit to Italy, he returned to London in the autumn of 1827.

On 17 December 1827, a large banquet was organised by [[Johann Baptist Cramer]] and [[Ignaz Moscheles]] in his honour at the Hotel Albion. Moscheles, in his diary, says that on that occasion Clementi improvised at the piano on a theme by [[George Frideric Handel]]. In 1828 he made his last public appearance at the opening concert of the Philharmonic Society. In 1830 he retired from the Society{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}.

Clementi moved with his wife Emma (née Gisborne) and his family to the outskirts of [[Lichfield]], [[Staffordshire]] and rented 'Lincroft House' on the Earl of Lichfield's Estate from Lady Day 1828 until late 1831. He then moved to Evesham where he died on 10 March 1832, after a short illness, aged eighty. On 29 March 1832, he was buried in the cloisters of [[Westminster Abbey]]. Accompanying his body were three of his students: Johann Baptist Cramer, [[John Field (composer)|John Field]] and Ignaz Moscheles{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}.
