| Domenico Scarlatti - Twenty Sonatas Volume II - Piano Solo
33 pages, Item number 1701525ED, $7.95
Domenico Scarlatti was an accomplished composer of operas, symphonies, choral and sacred music, but his fame rightly rests on the hundreds of keyboard sonatas, nearly all in the same binary form, in which he gave free reign to his imagination, stimulated by the new sounds, sights and customs of his homeland. In these sonatas he explored new worlds of virtuoso technique, putting to new musical ends such devices as hand-crossing, rapidly repeated notes, wide leaps in both hands and countless other means of achieving a devastating brilliance of effect. Twenty of these sonatas are compiled in this folio written for solo piano. Your audience will be amazed at these stunning works by this great virtuoso.
