Summary of This Score
A major Italian composer of the Baroque era, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) remains an absolute reference thanks to his 555 Keyboard Sonatas, still widely performed and studied today. This tenth volume is aimed at performers seeking a coherent collection, designed to deepen the understanding of his language and develop genuine stylistic fluency at the keyboard.
Originally intended for the harpsichord, organ, or pianoforte, these sonatas make remarkable use of contrasts in character, harmonic clashes, and unexpected progressions. They showcase Scarlatti's signature style: a nervous and singing discourse, always musical virtuosity, and above all a pronounced taste for dissonances and modulations to distant keys, which give each piece dramatic tension and a rare freshness of invention.
Another richness of this collection lies in the Iberian influences often associated with Scarlatti's work, having spent much of his career at the Spanish and Portuguese courts. This proximity is felt in certain rhythmic turns, the energy of motifs, and a writing style that sometimes evokes dance, guitar, or popular colors transposed to the keyboard.
Gathering Sonatas K. 458 to K. 506, this volume notably includes the highly appreciated Sonata in F minor K. 466. The set constitutes an essential resource for keyboardists wishing to work on Baroque articulation, ornamentation, rhythmic precision, and expressiveness, while approaching a repertoire as demanding as it is rewarding.
