This edition will assist piano students in achieving a better, more stylistically correct interpretation of Domenico Scarlatti’s piano music.

Historical background, performance problems and performance suggestions, including pedaling, are included in the "About Each Sonata" section.
"A selection of sonatas from ... Opere complete per clavicembalo, edited by Alessandro Longo ... 1906-08, by G. Ricordi, Milan."
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.
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.
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.
Domenico Scarlatti, the great Italian composer, enjoys his cat's company when he plays harpsichord. Little does he know, his cat, Pulcinella also dreams of composing her own music! One day, while chasing a mouse, she tumbles onto the harpsichord. Suddenly, she can't resist the urge to play. When she begins to play, Scarlatti's eyes widen?
These short, pleasing pieces assist early-intermediate pianists in developing overall musicianship and technique. The collection contains sonatas, minuets, an "Aria" and a "Pastoral" written in binary form. Halford provides suggestions for style and interpretation in a foreword, and includes fingering, phrasing and notated ornaments in light print within each composition. This is an important volume for students new to Scarlatti's brilliant and lyrical keyboard styles.
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.)
