Any impressive Scarlatti sonatas?


False

Recommended Posts

Hey, guys. I have like a collection of 150 sonatas (by D. Scarlatti) but I dont know which one is good.. Can anyone suggest a really good Scarlatti piece (between k.1-k.150) that could impress some audiences?

A lot of the earlier sonatas (K. 1 - 150 included) aren't as flashy because Scarlatti was developing what would eventually become his mature musical language.

If you want, there's printable scans of all the sonatas here:

Sonata K. 159 in C is kind of showy.

Thanks a lot. I'm always trying to find all of the kirkpatrick catalogue but i cant seem to find it. I got first 150 in some John Sankey website......
