Summary of This Sheet Music
Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is one of the most essential Italian composers for any keyboard player, thanks to his 555 sonatas that remain in the repertoire of musicians today. This eleventh volume, the last in the series, stands as a key work to complete a library of Baroque sonatas and explore the culmination of his keyboard writing.
Originally intended for the harpsichord, organ, or early pianofortes, these sonatas are distinguished by striking harmonic inventiveness: clashes, dissonances, rhythmic surprises, and modulations to distant keys give each piece a distinctive identity. The collection also highlights the possible influence of Iberian music, as Scarlatti spent much of his career at the Spanish and Portuguese royal courts.
This volume gathers Sonatas 507 to 555 and includes the very recognizable Sonata in E major K. 531. Beyond its musical interest, it is an excellent practice tool to develop ornament precision, hand independence, clarity of phrasing, and mastery of contrasts. An essential resource to enrich the repertoire of keyboard players and deepen the Baroque aesthetic, from sight-reading to concert performance.
