W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet least understood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position of solitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style are often obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern. Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hindered musicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thorough reconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed to Scarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music, offering both individual readings and broader commentary of an unprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove the composer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefine his image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographical difficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musical style.
This carefully edited volume contains 19 of Scarlatti's easiest pieces, including minuets, sonatas and assorted other works. Suggestions for interpretation and a discussion of the original editions are provided. Unique to this collection is a consideration of figured bass as used in several of Scarlatti's sonatas.

The pieces in this book are arranged roughly in chronological order. They include the best of Mozart's childhood compositions through late works such as the famous "Sonata in C Major," K. 545. Unique features of this volume include an excellent discussion of pianos in Mozart's day, as well as directives on how to improvise ornaments in Classic keyboard music.
Volume I of this critically acclaimed three-part collection features introductory text and performance notes to 30 Scarlatti sonatas, from Sonata I to Sonata XXX. The works appear in chronological order and with Kirkpatrick numbers. This Urtext edition preserves the sonatas' original presentation, save for the addition of accidentals and the inversion of treble and bass clefs, in accordance with modern practices and ease of playing.
The editor has chosen 40 keyboard sonatas from the more than 500 written by Domenico Scarlatti. These serve as a progressive initiation into Scarlatti's keyboard artistry. The sonatas generally follow the simple structure of a single movement divided into two symmetrical refrains, as in the pre-classical dance suites. Embellishments are written in regular note values for ease of playing, and dynamic indications, which were sparse for the harpsichord, are added for the modern piano. Fingerings are included as a suggested guide.
This edition will assist piano students in achieving a better, more stylistically correct interpretation of Domenico Scarlatti’s piano music. These 16 intermediate to late intermediate level sonatas include dynamics, fingering, articulation and phrasing, realization of ornaments and metronome indications in parentheses. Historical background, performance problems and performance suggestions, including pedaling, are included in the "About Each Sonata" section.
Split into two volumes (item 29 and 107), this edition concentrates on areas of performance practice such as dynamics, expressive character, fingering, ornamentation, phrasing, rhythmic treatment and tempo. This collection has been compiled for intermediate to moderately advanced students, and to assist the teacher and performer, utilizes four levels of grading (early intermediate, intermediate, late intermediate and early advanced.)
