Beskrivelse
The number of Scarlatti sonatas heard on the concert platform and learned by piano students is relatively small. We can understand this if we consider that the publications including a greater amount of material have not been accessible to the public. For this reason the chief task of this selection is to widen the circle of these few and with reason popular works. At the same time it aims to give a comprehensive view of Scarlatti's sonatas, following the composer's development from the Essercizi of 1738 to the pieces written towards the end of his life.
