Summary of This Score
This collection brings together a selection of 24 sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti for solo piano, identified by their "K" numbers (Kirkpatrick catalogue). True gems of the late Baroque repertoire, these short and contrasting pieces alternate virtuosic passages, dance rhythms, echo effects, hand crossings, and more lyrical episodes. They provide an excellent foundation for developing precise technique (attack, regularity, agility), while deepening stylistic understanding: phrasing, breathing, balance of sound layers, and sense of cadence.
The edition, of a musicological nature and prepared by Bengt Johnsson, aims to offer a carefully edited text suitable for both study and performance. The program spans several keys and characters, including very well-known and appreciated sonatas such as K 13, K 24, K 25, K 159, K 263, K 297, K 351, K 365, K 420, K 483, K 516, and K 545. The book is hardcover and convenient for library storage, but it is important to note that the offered copy is damaged (marked cover corners, possible label).
