Summary of This Score

A major Italian composer of the Baroque era, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) left a monumental collection of 555 keyboard sonatas which remains, even today, one of the pillars of the repertoire. This fourth volume is aimed at those who wish to go beyond the most frequently played pieces, while staying at the heart of a writing that is immediately lively, brilliant, and deeply musical.

Originally conceived for harpsichord, organ, or pianoforte, these sonatas are distinguished by remarkable harmonic imagination: expressive clashes and dissonances, unexpected turns, and unconventional modulations that give each piece its own color. The result is an exciting working material, both to refine articulation and ornamentation and to develop rhythmic precision and a sense of contrast.

A portion of this music is also attributed with Iberian influences, linked to Scarlatti's career at the Spanish and Portuguese courts. This imprint is felt in certain melodic inflections, rhythmic impulses, and the almost "dance-like" energy of many movements, which contribute to the charm of these keyboard pages.

Gathering Sonatas 156 to 205, this volume notably includes the very popular Sonata in C major (K. 159). Carried by the experience of a composer renowned for his keyboard virtuosity and sense of style, these pieces constitute an essential selection for anyone wishing to explore Scarlatti in depth, whether for study, listening, or concert performance.
