Summary of This Score
This volume represents an essential step for anyone wishing to approach Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas with a high level of musicological rigor. It focuses on the thirty Essercizi published in London in 1738-1739, emblematic pages whose style, purpose, and place in the history of keyboard music have long fueled debate. Here, the edition is based on a methodical collation of 18th-century printed and manuscript sources, in order to offer a coherent, well-argued musical text as close as possible to the preserved witnesses.
In some cases, the work proposes an alternative version of the same sonata, resulting from the critical examination of sources and sometimes revealing a complex network of variants attributable to the composer. The Critical Notes report divergences, competing readings, and editorial choices, allowing both harpsichordists and researchers to quickly assess the origin of textual differences and their musical significance (ornamentation, articulation, figuration, or writing details).
The Introduction, particularly rich, places these sonatas in their context: genesis, historical issues, circulation of editions, and reception. It notably addresses the relationship between the Essercizi and the rival London edition associated with Roseingrave, the role and chronology of contemporary French editions known as "Boivin," as well as the first interventions by anonymous performers. A reference tool for working on the Baroque keyboard repertoire with an informed, critical, and fully musical reading.
