Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)Sonatas Domenico Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas rank among the most original works in the 18th-century keyboard repertoire. Composed for the Spanish court, they display remarkable inventiveness: virtuosity, bold harmonies and rhythms rooted in Iberian folk music create a lively play of tension and contrast. In these short, often bipartite pieces, Scarlatti explores the keyboard with remarkable freedom: brilliantly, with depth and always with a distinctive flair.
