Domenico Scarlatti : Selected Piano Sonatas, Volume III

Piano solo – Baroque Period

About Editor/Fingering:

This Urtext Edition is edited by the renowned pianist Bengt Johnsson. The piano fingering is provided by Detlef Kraus.

Description:

Domenico Scarlatti is considered one of history’s greatest piano composers and the first true piano virtuoso. This third volume continues the series (following HN 395 and 451) by offering 24 sonatas from various creative periods. Scarlatti's work is celebrated for triumphing over heavy Baroque styles through characterful themes, natural cantabile melodies, and dance-like movements. His one-movement sonatas introduced revolutionary techniques to piano literature, such as crossing hands and wide leaps. The preface by Bengt Johnsson provides deep insights into Scarlatti's career and the historical sources used for this edition.

Product Features:

• Curated Selection: Features 24 sonatas providing a broad overview of Scarlatti's rich creative variety.
• Historical "Bon-bon": Includes a reprint of the preface from the 1738 edition of 30 Scarlatti sonatas.
• Scholarly Research: Based on diverse historical sources with an informative preface on Scarlatti’s life.
• Virtuosic Focus: Highlights the formal elements of Scarlatti’s technique, including hand-crossing and large interval jumps.

Performance Tips:

This volume contains works ranging from Difficulty 5 (medium) to 7 (difficult). Several pieces are highly recommended for formal examinations: the Sonata in A major K. 24 is a recommended ABRSM Harpsichord Grade 8 piece, while the Sonata in e minor K. 263 is featured on the ABRSM Piano ARSM syllabus. Performers should focus on the dance-like rhythms and the natural, singing quality of the melodies while mastering the technical hurdles of hand-crossing.
